Trinity Center uses EMDR and hypnosis as part of a comprehensive therapeutic treatment plan for some patients. Scientific research has shown that EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is the most effective and rapid method for treating PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.) Thousands of therapists worldwide have begun to use EMDR to treat trauma memories that affect client’s long term functioning. Some are also using it to enhance performance and creativity.

Here at Trinity Center we have, in some cases, used a combination of clinical hypnosis and EMDR to treat clients with emotional and physical trauma. We have found that EMDR is a very effective means of treating trauma patients, but in many cases the experience of the treatment has been traumatic as the event is recalled. Clinical hypnosis causes a profound state of relaxation which lowers anxiety and makes the treatment process more effective. The few clients who have received the combination of EMDR with hypnosis have responded well and have been able to remain out of inpatient hospitalization.
