Additional Approaches In Counselling
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR helps you process old memories that cause emotional distress and are barriers to your healing. Some of these memories may be from trauma such as abuse, others may be disturbing, negative and unresolved life experiences such as from childhood. EMDR is now called a Power Therapy because some research shows that it accelerates the therapeutic process.
Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk et al. found EMDR to be more effective than fluoxetine, an SSRI in treating trauma, especially six months after the treatment ended. However, the findings suggest that an SSRI may be a reliable first-line intervention to initially help stabilize a person.
To find more information Google EMDR and click on the official website called EMDR Institute. This website provides a thorough description of the usefulness of this now well researched approach. Wikipedia also provides a good summary.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.
