Ed Gresick is a
Certified EMDR (Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing)
therapist.
As an addiction
therapist I help patients resolve
the root causes of their addictive
or compulsive behaviors. Unmet
childhood needs, losses, abuse,
neglect, ACA issues, growing up in
dysfunctional homes and other
experiences in life are a common
source of major and minor traumas
that keep people repeating the same
problems and learning from mistakes
and feed the addictive cycle. These
behaviors are not due to moral
failures, bad character or a lack of
willpower but are caused by actual
changes in the brain.
EMDR is a
comprehensive, very effective and
time limited approach to the
treatment of trauma, adverse life
experiences and psychological
stressors without the patient
becoming re-traumatized.
PTSD (Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder) has
recently been reclassified as PTSI
(Post Traumatic Stress Injury). PTSD
or PTSI can be “simple” or “complex”
traumas also referred to as Type 1
and Type 2 Traumas or as “large” or
“small” traumas. Trauma can result
from many life experiences. An
example of most obvious trauma is
being involved in an accident or
witnessing an accident. A less
obvious example includes repeated
and ongoing emotional or physical
abuse in childhood or as an adult. A
list of the causes of traumas is
quite extensive.
What is
important is to recognize the impact
trauma has in your life. Trauma has
many possible impacts that can
affect, in a negative way, our
relationships, ability to trust,
attach to others in a healthy way,
our thoughts, feelings and
behaviors, attitudes, and dreams.
Unresolved trauma also feeds
persistent negativity, depression,
anxiety and addictions and
compulsive behaviors.
Ed Gresick
integrates EMDR into his treatment
approach because it is an evidenced
based treatment approach and because
it works.
