EMDR for Children

EMDR is a specialized procedure for resolving trauma or lost memories. Today, children and teens in West Palm Beach and the surrounding communities are slowly recognizing that EMDR is one of the most effective means of treatment.  Briefly, it involves having the client concentrate on the worst moment of the memory while visually following the therapist's moving fingers; this is repeated with different aspects of the memory until no further distress remains. EMDR is now one of the most well-researched psychotherapy treatments for trauma and (in a recent meta-analysis) has been found to be the most effective and efficient of the well-established trauma treatments.
