EMDR

2024190848You’re having trouble showing up.

The trauma from your past has become unmanageable. Too often, you are reminded of the assault and abuse – you feel stuck in that memory.

It’s gotten so bad that you don’t want to go to work or see friends and family. You don’t even feel safe enough to leave your house.

But home is no sanctuary either.

You try to distract yourself, dulling the silence before bed with podcasts and reality TV; but you know as soon as they turn off or you fall asleep, you’ll be experiencing it again.

You’re trapped in your own mind.

Diagnoses start getting thrown around: PTSD, Generalized Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder.

“Maybe some tea or talking will help. Or perhaps a walk outside?” But it doesn’t.

You need a real, effective, long-term solution to regain control of your mind and your own reactions.

You’ve heard there’s a solution.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy is designed to reprocess your memories of past abuse or specific traumas.

It’s like the bookshelf of your mind was all orderly, with all the memories neatly sliding into place. But trauma isn’t neat.

Trauma makes memories jagged and painful, and they refuse to be logged away and demand attention now.

2498836365Set the past down.

Using Bilateral Stimulation, the same movements your eyes make during REM sleep, we will focus on and reprocess these troubling memories.

This process sidesteps the thinking brain, so you don’t have to relive the trauma or worsen its burden. It’s like you’re on a train, watching the event pass by the window.

But here’s the best part.

You’re not alone.

I’m there with you every step of the way, using my voice and presence to anchor you to the present moment, where you’re safe.

We’ll work through these memories methodically until their edges are smoothed, and you can put them back on the shelf where they belong.

They don’t disappear, but you’re no longer at their whim. You decide when and if you want to access them.

Contact me.

Experience the peace of no longer getting triggered by your past experiences and enjoy the present.

Go to work knowing that you’ll be able to focus. Feel safe in your own home and when going out to see friends and family.

Call or text me today for a 15-minute consultation. I look forward to helping you set yourself free.
