What Is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. To date, EMDR has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress.

Lee has experienced EMDR to be an exceptionally useful tool to help people process unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours that prevent them from making change in their lives. She describe it as therapist-facilitated REM sleep (stimulation of the brain, usually through tapping on the knees). While she bilaterally stimulates the left and right hemispheres of your brain, you process whatever issue is going on for you at present. There is no hypnosis. You are fully awake, in control and can stop the process at any time. Utmost care is taken to not overwhelm you emotionally, and to help you process difficult emotions in a way that feels safe and successful.
Lee has used EMDR to help people process a number of issues, including but not limited to the list of issues found listed below:
