REMAP – Reed Eye Movement Acupressure Therapy

The REMAP process created by Steve Reed, MSW, MFT, utilizes the pathways and treatment points of the entire acupuncture system to relieve emotional distress. REMAP provides a complete map of this acupressure/acupuncture system, by integrating it with brain balancing eye movement techniques and other leading edge interventions. REMAP works with evidence based acupoints. These points are the exact acupressure points that have been researched at some of the most prestigious universities and teaching hospitals in the world to be effective for calming the brain, heart and nervous system.

The goal of this approach is to eliminate trauma, stress and self-limiting patterns while promoting wholeness, inner harmony and higher levels of functioning. By revising our mental and emotional maps we seek to further emotional freedom and to better life’s journey. By integrating cognitive and behavioral methods with acupressure, mental and emotional distress is alleviated.

REMAP goes beyond talk therapy to connect and calm the fight or flight reflex that is at the root of fears, phobias and post traumatic disorders. This simple technique treats the emotional brain directly in seconds in a way that remaps the emotional landscape. In addition, REMAP treats grief, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress related problems, low self esteem, shame, and relationship problems.
