EMOTIONAL OVEREATING

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A highly efffective therapy approach to reprocess disturbing/traumatic memories, events, and experiences. EMDR is effective for many difficulties and disorders. Lyn has been using EMDR for over 5 years and continues to stay current in this growing area of psychotherapy through continuing education and consultation. This is growing clinical evidence of it's effectiveness in most psychological difficulties.
Performance Coaching: Professional/work performance, Sports performance, Test Anxiety; While applying some of the therapeutic approaches Lyn has adapted from her work as a therapist, Lyn is able to go beyond traditional coaching methods which use mostly cognitive approaches. As a result she is able to help individuals process negative memories, events, and experiences that created their limitations and to install "positive templates" to ensure future performance.
Approaches for Performance Coaching that I may use are highly individualized but may include:
1) Heartmath TM: a relaxation method to gain heart coherence (by reducing heart rate variability) enabling a confident, calm state of existence which
increases concentration and focus www.heartmath.com
2) EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: EMDR is a therapeutic approach that allows reprocessing of memories, events, and experiences that have created self-limitations.
3) EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)-an energy technique that helps to remove the blocks to emotional stability, peace, and success. This technique can be taught to the client and done outside of the client's sessions to enhance treatment. 4) Visualization, Guided and Self-Imagery, Meditation
