Desarae Walker, MA, is skilled in Rapid Eye Technology (RET), a transformative ocular-assisted stress relief technique recognized as a leading modality for treating PTSD symptoms. This innovative method allows for powerful and swift emotional release without the need to relive traumatic experiences. RET effectively simulates REM sleep, the body's natural system for problem resolution, empowering individuals to take charge of their healing journey. By engaging the entire mind-body system in an awake state, clients are given the opportunity to make new choices regarding their current challenges. This process is essential for repairing neural pathways that may have been distorted by traumatic memories, teaching the body new methods of processing emotional experiences while enhancing REM sleep. Desarae is dedicated to empowering her clients to live fulfilling, productive lives by helping them release negative belief systems, thought patterns, and emotions that contribute to emotional stress. As these barriers are removed, individuals can reclaim a state of lightness and wholeness. The RET process allows for the release of any stress-inducing issues, retraining the body and educating the mind to think and react in healthier ways through both RET and Skills for Life, a cognitive repatterning component of the RET model.
