            This relatively new technique helps desensitize damaging emotional events or traumas frequently seen in therapy.   Arlene is trained to perform the technique and successfully uses it often to change the interpretation of present events as well as to relieve physical pain and enhance positive qualities.  This link gives a summary of the technique and research regarding EMDR.
