For eleven years, these seizures ruled her life.&amp;nbsp; Then a friend suggested Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.&amp;nbsp; Through this therapy, Mary found a way to process those traumas.&amp;nbsp; Unfreezing Trauma: My Private Journal of EMDR Recovery details her recovery. After finishing the therapy, Mary went on to earn her master\u2019s degree at MSU, received a post-graduate certification as a Developmental Educator, and developed a nationally recognized program to help students upgrade their math skills for college. Mary is a long-time resident of the Lansing.
