Learning to “just observe” thoughts and feelings associated with emotional discomfort, one can experience unpleasant situations without feeling trapped in them. Pleasant situations can be experienced without a sense of neediness. Even if the situations triggering the difficult emotions cannot be changed, various techniques for achieving calm, concentration and useful insights can radically transform the subjective suffering and the ability to deal with the situation.
So what is meditation good for? Meditation skills and techniques can be applied to all aspects of life situations or human life. Techniques can provide solutions to issues of suffering which may include anxiety, anger, depression, stress, physical pain, trauma, and other life challenges.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
Developed by Francine Shapiro, New York City psychologist in the 1980's, it has been used with great success in helping individuals overcome various traumas using primarily bilateral stimulation usually in the form of eye movements, but also sometimes tactile stimulation.
There is a great deal of evidence that bilateral stimulation speeds up the reprocessing of disturbing emotional events or traumatic material and at the same time helps the client in making contact with that material in a sager way than with traditional therapy.
Rev. McCormick was trained and certified by Dr. Erantha DeMel who has used this technique extensively and with great success especially with post traumatic stress disorder. Much of his current research is based on the tremendous healing experienced by the victims of the Tsumani in his home country of Sri Lanka.
The science is fascinating. The results are astounding. Usually a client requires only 2 or 3 sessions to clear a traumatic event.
