Traditional talk therapy targets the recognition of feelings, behaviors, and patterns that cause distress.
If you continue feeling overwhelmed by past trauma, anxiety, or emotional distress, EMDR therapy may be a treatment for you to consider. But what is it exactly? EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a powerful, research-backed method for processing traumatic memories and improving mental well-being.
Here’s what you need to know about how EMDR works, and why it’s so effective.
EMDR therapy is a specialized treatment designed to help individuals process traumatic memories. This helps relieve anxiety, or negative beliefs that continue to affect their daily lives. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses eye movements, or other stimulation, to activate your brain’s natural healing process. Bilateral stimulation occurs when eye movements, alternating tapping or sounds help the two hemispheres of the brain “talk” to each other and process unresolved trauma.
See the step by step process of how EMDR Therapy works and the benefits of EMDR Therapy here.

“Mental health should be one of the biggest priorities for everyone in the season,” SouthCoast Health General Physician Dr. Keith Cobb stated. “But it’s vital to keep moving forward and progressing with our lives and our mental health. Just because it’s the holiday doesn’t mean your needs should take a back seat.”
Despite the fact that mental health disorders are one of the most common diseases among children, the idea of mental health advocacy for our children is still pretty rare.
Read here how Dr. Keith Seibert and his wife, Dr. Heather Seibert, both pediatric advocates at SouthCoast Health in Richmond Hill, helped one 11-year-old girl who was struggling with mental illness including anxiety and ADHD. Learn more here.
SouthCoast Health experts share here four tips to help your graduate navigate the unavoidable stress that commences with commencement — and keep it from impacting your health.
“It’s understandably tempting to let busy schedules and demands get in the way of healthy sleep and eating, especially when you know the season of stressors may be temporary,” said SouthCoast Nurse Practioner Amanda Jones, FNP-BC. “But that’s often when you need them most.”
SouthCoast Health team includes more than 120 healthcare professionals encompassing more than 20 specialties and services. Find one that meets your needs online here, or call 912-691-3600 to schedule an appointment.

It’s time we stop being hesitant to talk about mental illnesses that are potentially harming our children.”
