Healing Trauma with EMDR
Getting thrown into a heavy fog…
Car accidents…
Shootings…
Natural disasters…
Abuse…
Violence…
A breakup…
A dream dashed…
When you experience or witness these things, it reshapes your view of the world and yourself.
This is what trauma does…
It envelopes you in a cloud of emotions that lingers long after the event or tragedy has passed.
You become your own worst critic, replaying and analyzing your every move, worrying about how you came across to others.
It’s exhausting!
This negative self-talk acts like a spoiler alert for life, convincing you that no matter what, things will turn out badly.
It puts you on an endless quest for validation from others.
Again… exhausting!
“Am I ‘too crazy’ or ‘too broken’??”
When you always have a knot in your stomach and tightness in your neck, shoulders, and chest… you can’t help but ask yourself these questions.
Trauma puts one hurdle after another in front of you, making it harder to concentrate as you’re in constant fear of making a mistake.
It’s no wonder you can’t relax when even the simplest decisions are overwhelming.
EMDR is the answer!
You may have even heard of it… or Googled it.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR) is a psychotherapy technique that’s been proven safe and effective for treating trauma.
It stimulates both sides of your brain using guided eye movements to “reprocess” painful memories associated with traumatic events. Much like rapid-eye movements during sleep, this stimulation reduces the emotional impact of those painful memories.
You’ll still remember what happened, but it loses its ability to trigger and disturb you in the present.
Fast results that are ALMOST too good to be true…
Infertility…
Birth trauma…
Miscarriages or pregnancy losses…
Sexual assault…
Identity crises…
Natural disasters…
No matter your trauma, EMDR can help.
EMDR can be a standalone solution, or…
It can be a part of a therapeutic journey. If you have tough-to-tackle trauma, we can enhance your EMDR therapy with Sandtray Therapy.
Sandtray Therapy lets you express complex emotions and memories without having to put them into words. It’s the ideal way to connect to past trauma if you struggle to confront or verbalize those experiences.
You’ll construct physical representations in the sand to symbolize your trauma or internal conflict. By externalizing these issues, you can work through them more easily.
I’ll support you through the process as you foster your strength and build resilience.
Embrace this flicker of hope!
Just coming here and considering getting help is a monumental step forward.
It’s okay to feel lost. That’s why I’m here – to help you navigate the fog and have compassion for yourself as you heal.
So, if you’re feeling weighted down by trauma, take a moment to breathe and remember you are not just a spectator in your life.
