EMDR

A blast from the past…

Life’s pretty good, and suddenly, you feel a rush of anxiety, anger, or sadness, seemingly out of nowhere.

It’s confusing and affects you physically with a tightness in your chest and knots in your stomach.

You thought you’d already dealt with that uncomfortable situation from the past. But here it is, disturbing and distracting you again.

Understanding triggers isn’t always easy.

You just can’t put your finger on why you’re feeling this way, especially after so much time has passed.

The source of your distress feels elusive. Why am I still struggling?

One thing you know for sure is that this strong emotional reaction you’ve been having is dragging and exhausting. Sometimes, it even scares you.

It makes you want to check out, to numb, to forget.

It’s getting in the way of your responsibilities and relationships.

Sometimes, you know exactly what’s going on.

You’ve experienced a single incident trauma: a car accident, victimization, a natural disaster, or you’ve witnessed something very disturbing, and you can’t get it out of your mind.

The images replay vividly while your body feels like it’s in constant “fight or flight.”

It’s crept into your dreams. You feel like you should just get over it. But you can’t.

There’s a glimmer of hope.

The life you want, filled with calm and ease, is within your reach.

You can put the past to bed for once and for all.

You can feel whole again!

What is EMDR?

EMDR is considered the gold standard of trauma treatment. It is a form of psychotherapy that aims to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic or difficult memories by asking you to recall the memory and any negative beliefs you have about yourself while simultaneously engaging in eye movement or other bilateral stimulation (like tapping or auditory tones).

The theory behind EMDR is that bilateral stimulation helps “unblock” the processing of traumatic memories and allows the brain to integrate the memory more adaptively.

EMDR allows you to reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment, reducing the emotional distress associated with those memories and promoting healing.

EMDR can be done in person or online.
