EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
EMDR is a type of structured therapy which does not require a lot of talking about events, rather
it is designed to work through past experiences that affect present day functioning--whether those experiences were big and traumatic, or seem small and insignificant, if they happened recently or long ago. What matters is how the experience (or ongoing circumstances) contributed to your self-concept (eg. feeling "not good enough", "stuck", "different", "unlovable", "can't set boundaries").
EMDR is done by following a protocol of questions which activate the part of the brain similar to the REM state of sleep and dreaming, which is related to memories and emotions, and allows for your brain to heal itself. When you can't "think" your way out of a problem, or when "knowing" isn't enough, EMDR can create a shift in how you feel about yourself or the world around you.
