EMDR

(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

“I keep crying for no reason. There’s something wrong with me.”

When you remember how your mom yelled at you as a child, you still feel the sting of tears. Now, you know that her being overworked and stressed was the cause.

You also know that you are excellent and have overcome many hurdles.

Most things you want in life have come true – being the boss, having friends, and a long list of accomplishments.

Yet, you still feel like there’s something wrong with you.

“That wasn’t even him. Why am I so nervous?”

Your heart races, palms sweat, and you shake because a man you saw looked like your abusive father.

Although your father never hit you, his rage toward your mother was terrifying.

To avoid that same rage, you tried to do everything right.

And although you never experienced his rage, you still feel increased anxiety every time something reminds you of him.

“It’s all my fault. I don’t deserve good things.”

You never mentioned to anyone how you were touched inappropriately as a child. He said if you didn’t keep it a secret, it would tear the family apart, so you vowed to take it to your grave.

That incident doesn’t bother you on a day-to-day basis. It was years ago, so it shouldn’t be a big deal anymore. But it is!

Since you started dating, you’ve had a hard time opening up, trusting them, and wanting to go past the ‘getting to know you’ phase.

Now, you’re having more nightmares and memories of that event, causing you to shut down. Lately, you’ve started thinking that it was all your fault and that’s why you don’t deserve good things.

You’ve moved on and forgiven – So why does it still hurt?

For many people, remnants of bad things linger. Even when they think they moved on, the aftermath of the trauma still exists.

Dealing with trauma is where the power of EMDR resides.

Rather than allowing those traumatic experiences to keep reappearing every time something triggers them, EMDR helps you reprogram your response.

With EMDR, the sting of your mother’s words, the fear of your father’s rage, and the memories of your past abuse cease to elicit negative responses and feelings.

EMDR is not hypnosis.

EMDR uses your brain’s natural power to heal and move past those past experiences.

EMDR therapists help you work through and address unprocessed memories.

By bridging both sides of your brain through eye movements, tapping, or other techniques, our EMDR therapists can help you overcome your trauma, allowing you to alter your response to experiences that trigger those memories.

Through EMDR, you learn to reprocess those memories, reducing responses that keep you stuck.

Don’t let those memories hold you hostage!

EMDR is a game-changer. You can experience true healing from things in the past. As a result, you will gain more control over your emotions and reactions.

EMDR helps you feel confident, equipped, and prepared to handle things that you thought you would never be able to manage.

Then, you can have full, whole, complete relationships built on trust, honesty, and authenticity.

Gain control. Let the past be in the past.

EMDR is a powerful tool for emotional healing.

You are worth it, even if you don’t feel like it right now.

If you’re ready to experience freedom from the things that have been holding you back, book your intake appointment today so we can start the process.

You’ve suffered in silence long enough.
