As well as ongoing weekly 50 minute sessions, I also offer short term EMDR intensive therapy. These are longer sessions that will often last 1-6 months, depending on levels of trauma and your current resources. This style of therapy can be helpful in greatly reducing trauma triggers, improving your quality of life in a much shorter amount of time. I include a free 30 minute assessment to see if this type of treatment will be appropriate for you. Please email me at somatictherapywitherica@ericaelenaberman.com to set something up.
90 minute - $325
120 minute - $435
160 minute (3 hours with a 10 minute break) - $580
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy
Undigested challenges and traumas can overwhelm our systems until we process and integrate them. EMDR is a well researched therapeutic technique that works with triggers, trauma, nightmares, chronic pain, addiction and areas of stuckness through the use of eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. This method can be a helpful addition to reducing symptoms and resolving old traumas so that we can live a more easeful life. My EMDR orientation incorporates working with parts, relational and somatic processes.
My focus is working with complex and developmental PTSD, but EMDR can be helpful for shock trauma as well. In this vein, I can offer a pre-verbal processing technique that can incorporate somatic process and bi-lateral stimulation to release trauma that happened before working memory began.
I also utilize the EMDR techniques, Four Blinks and Flash Technique. These treatments are a bit more gentle on the nervous system and can support very severe triggers coming down in an even softer way than traditional EMDR. They are also quite effective, and can be used in conjunction with EMDR or on their own.
