With over 35 years experience, Cathy is able to easily assess and assist her clients in understanding the root system of their mental health issues.
EMDR and Brainspotting reprocesses the mid-brain, where we store every experience and trauma of our whole lives - unconscious and conscious experiences. Subsequently, the emotional triggers decrease which allows the logical brain to have more power to control anxiety, traumas and depression.
