EMDR Therapy
Hypervigilant, stuck, and numb…
Ben* sees sleep as something only others do. He’s always on alert, anticipating something bad around every corner. He startles at the smallest noises, and everyone seems to notice.
Abe* feels like he’s hit a wall. Progress seems harder for him than for anyone else. Everything saps so much energy from him. And the minute he feels like he’s making progress, something takes him two steps back.
Jack* feels nothing at all. When people talk about emotions, he has difficulty connecting with them. Moving through life is like watching TV in black and white. It’s like he has to pinch himself to feel anything at all.
If you’re like them…
You want relief from your symptoms, but you haven’t found relief.
That’s likely because when you’ve experienced trauma, it’s hard to feel emotionally and physically safe enough to explore and overcome what happened.
You might be at the point of giving up hope. But don’t…
EMDR can get you over the hump!
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specific therapy to help you reprocess past pain so you can move forward.
With EMDR, I’ll help you look at the past as you’re ready. I’ll then guide you through a series of eye movements that help you reprocess the memories. This method doesn’t erase the memories, but it takes away the emotional triggers associated with them. Using EMDR…
Ben can now relax.
Ben discovered that he had been blocking out a car accident he had a few years ago. He learned to let go of his experience and feel gratitude for his good fortune of survival.
Abe regained his motivation.
Through EMDR, he learned he was subconsciously reliving a failure he experienced as a child. His mind grasps that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Jack FEELS again.
He didn’t realize it, but after interviewing his parents about his early childhood, Jacks learned that his ability to feel was compromised early in life due to intensive medical treatment. It took some time, but the “lights” came back on, and he now experiences life in full color.
You’re not alone in this!
No matter where you are on your journey, you can experience relief and joy again.
