Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. In EMDR therapy, the meaning of painful events is transformed on an emotional level. For instance, an assault victim shifts from feeling horror and self-disgust to holding the firm belief that, “I survived it and I am strong.”
The physical symptoms or “disturbance” previously coupled with that memory are also eliminated with successful processing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or families within each person’s mental system. These sub-personalities consist of wounded parts and painful emotions such as anger and shame, and parts that try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts.

IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self. It is often used in conjunction with EMDR and RIEMDR.
