EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing


EMDR is a simple and efficient form of counseling that can help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, sleep issues, self doubt, anger, painful memories and many other concerns.  


EMDR uses eye movements similar to REM or dream sleep.  This is done by auditory tones, or tapping in order to accelerate the brain’s God given capacity to process and heal a troubling memory, thought, feeling, phobia, etc.  


EMDR reintegrates a memory and stores it in a more appropriate place in the brain.  The client’s brain re-establishes the memory and does the healing.  


The memory is remembered, but the painful emotions and physical sensations/disturbing images/thoughts are no longer present.


 EMDR is effective in alleviating trauma-related symptoms, whether the traumatic event occurred many years ago or yesterday.  


It often brings desired results with little talking, without the necessity of medication and does not require homework in between sessions.  


Some clients can experience relief or positive effects in just a few sessions.


Scientific research has established EMDR as effective for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress, phobias, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, stress, sexual and physical abuse, disturbing memories, complicated grief, addictions, chronic pain and migraines.


If you believe EMDR can be helpful for your situation.  Contact Kim Turner at 615-379-8909 or email birdsonawire@att.net to set up your EMDR session.  


Kim Turner is trained through an EMDRIA approved EMDR program.

  Be Happily Married It was our wedding day, the very day I had dreamed about since I was a little girl.  I wore a beautiful wedding gown chosen just for this dream come true and I carried a parasol covered in daisies, my favorite flower.  My heart was filled with joy and anticipation as I walked down the aisle to become Mrs. to my knight in shining armor.  That day was thirty-eight years ago and I still have my wedding gown, my parasol, and my knight in shining armor.  People don’t talk much about marriage these days and for many the subject is accompanied by pain; the pain and disappointment of divorce, broken families, loneliness, parental abandonment, and other issues that we find uncomfortable.  Sometimes it is the pain of our parents marriage, and often it’s the pain we have experienced in our own relationships.  For these reasons many have decided that there is not enough value in marriage to pursue one, and too often couples have placed the...
