EMDR Therapy - Healing and Transforming Trauma
Has traditional talk therapy not provided the relief you’ve been looking for? Do you find it challenging to overcome persistent anxiety? Is past trauma impacting your daily life?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is an evidence-based and research proven method to treat the impact of trauma or other impactful experiences. EMDR is an approach that considers both your mind and body, leading you to a place of healing and discovering your inner-strength.
What is the Background of EMDR?
Our memories form intricate webs of thoughts, emotions, sensations, and beliefs. Typically, when we encounter a distressing event, our brain undergoes a process of assimilating and incorporating the memory into our larger network of experiences. This integration enables us to learn and adapt from the encounter.
Challenging life experiences often overpower the inherent healing and processing capacity of our brains, leading to memories feeling “stuck.” These unprocessed memories can contribute to ongoing emotional and psychological distress, impacting our current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
EMDR therapy utilizes bilateral stimulation techniques, which may involve eye movements, tapping, or auditory cues, to engage both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously. This dual stimulation mirrors the natural processing observed during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, facilitating the brain's ability to reach and address previously unprocessed memories. Through this approach, EMDR therapy aims to promote healing for individuals struggling with the lingering effects of distressing experiences.
As an EMDR Trained Therapist, I Find it Important to Stay True to the Created Protocol and How it Was Intended to Help Individuals.
I recognize that everyone deals with trauma differently. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to process and integrate these experiences.
EMDR also extends its therapeutic reach beyond trauma, offering valuable assistance for a range of mental health challenges or stressors. It can provide a pathway to not just relief but also resilience, empowering individuals on their journey to well-being.
