I am EMDR trained and specialize in treating childhood woundings experienced from society's homophobia. This often occurs to Lesbians and Gay men in the form of emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse during childhood and as an adult. Whether the abuse occurred from a parent, sibling, at school, or at work, these traumatic events often leave deep wounds that EMDR can heal quickly and completely. Many Gays and Lesbians grow up feeling different and as an outsider. Some of us received teasing and bullying for being different at a young age. IMF55999 Marriage and Family Intern.
