EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is a specialized treatment for trauma and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).  Trauma can be any event that causes extreme fear or distress and still bothers you even though it is in the past.  EMDR treatment uses eye movements, tapping, or other types of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess and heal from traumatic memories.  More information can be found at emdria.org

Cognitive Behavior Therapy:  CBT is one of the most well-researched and evidence based therapy techniques.  It focuses on helping you improve awareness of how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related.  It helps you build skills to identify and change thoughts that are not helpful or that cause suffering so you can feel better.
