EMDR
Healing Trauma Through Mindful, Body-Centered Care
Trauma can leave lasting imprints, affecting how we feel, relate, and navigate the world. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a path to gently process and release these imprints, fostering healing and resilience.
What Is EMDR?
EMDR is a therapeutic approach that facilitates the processing of traumatic memories by engaging both the mind and body. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps rewire the brain's response to distressing experiences, allowing for integration and relief.
How EMDR Complements Somatic Therapy
Incorporating EMDR into our work together can deepen the healing process. While somatic therapy focuses on bodily sensations and experiences, EMDR targets the neural pathways associated with trauma. Together, they offer a comprehensive approach to healing, addressing both the physiological and psychological aspects of trauma.
Is EMDR Right for You?
EMDR may be beneficial if you're experiencing:
-
Persistent anxiety or panic attacks
-
Depression linked to past experiences
-
Phobias or irrational fears
-
Grief or complicated bereavement
-
Low self-esteem rooted in early experiences
If traditional talk therapy hasn't provided the relief you're seeking, EMDR might offer a new avenue for healing.
What to Expect
Our EMDR sessions will be conducted in a safe, supportive environment. We'll begin by identifying specific memories or experiences to target. Using bilateral stimulation, we'll work to reprocess these memories, reducing their emotional charge and integrating them into your broader life narrative.
