Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment therapy or ACT is a method of working with clients that is focused less on symptom elimination and is more about a way that you approach the problems that you are facing. It is based on six principles and can be used to approach a wide variety of problems. The over simplified explanation would be Notice → Make Space → Defuse → Clarify Values → Choose → Act
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR is a method used to help people who are experiencing symptoms of trauma through helping the body naturally process those past difficult events in a way that will make them have less impact in the present moment. In first hearing about EMDR I thought is was too good to be true but having facilitated 1000's of EMDR sessions I have seen it make dramatic and significant changes in people who have been affected by traumatic events. Whether it is processing abuse from childhood or more recent traumatic events EMDR is a wonderful tool to help in the healing journey.
