EMDR

(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

You can’t escape the fear.

Past trauma invades your present tense, keeping you paralyzed, unable to take risks to move forward with your life.

Sometimes, it feels like there’s never any healing for wounds this deep. Each day is exhausting, as the fear of being hurt again grinds you down.

Life is the worst kind of emotional rollercoaster, where the lows are deeper than you thought possible, and the “highs” are a swirling anxiety.

The old ways of getting out of this rut, including traditional talk therapy, don’t work.

It’s not your fault.

Trauma lives in the brain’s pre-verbal structures, so we need to work with these painful, stuck pieces within the body and our emotions.

EMDR is a deeply embodied process, unifying our experience across mind and body, past and present.

Trauma doesn’t need to be our master, causing us to avoid all threatening situations. EMDR is a modality that allows us to mindfully encounter our traumatic memories in the safety of the therapeutic relationship, hold them, and reprocess them.

Healing is possible. 

In reprocessing these painful past moments, these memories can move from traumas that impede our present tense to sad events that happened to us a long time ago.

They can move from the oppressive force of a flashback to the meaning-making power of just one integrated part of our life story.

I’m with you.

I was an EMDR client in therapy before I considered becoming a clinician.

Since the earliest days of my traineeship as a clinician, I have practiced EMDR. I know the difficulty of trauma and the power of this healing modality.

Don’t let past trauma keep you stuck. I am here to take this path of healing with you. Call now for a free 20-minute consultation.
