By taking an attachment-based approach to EMDR, clients begin to cope better with internal and interpersonal conflict, reducing fear of abandonment or rejection. Clients who work with client often feel an increase in self-compassion, self-esteem, and an overall stronger sense of self. Hannah also incorporates somatic therapy approaches like Somatic Parts Work, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness practices into her work with clients to integrate the mind and body as one.
