EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy
 

EMDR is an evidence based therapy that helps process difficult or traumatic life experiences. When a person experiences a scary, difficult, or traumatic event, unfortunately the impact can continue long after the event is over.  Sometimes talking about what happened or learning coping skills doesn’t bring the relief that someone is needing.  EMDR can be a powerful way to process past experiences that are still impacting your present life, despite your best efforts to put it behind you.

What are signs that EMDR might be helpful for you?

• You want to move on from what happened but haven’t been able to 

• You avoid places that remind you of a traumatic event

• You become anxious, sad, or upset when you are reminded about what happened

• You feel less present in your daily life after a scary event

• You feel anxious or on edge

• You feel guilty or responsible for what happened, even though logically you know that’s not true

Experiencing something traumatic can impact how people see the world or themselves. The world may feel more scary or you may not feel like your old optimistic self.  

What are some examples of what life can be like after EMDR?

• You aren’t think about the traumatic even nearly as often

• Your sleep might improve

• You feel more like yourself again

• You’re able to think more about the future (and be even be excited about it!)

• You may feel less anxiety and more calmness in your body

I have been offering EMDR therapy since 2018. In that time, I have been really impressed with the relief that clients experience. It’s not unusual that clients come to me after trying more traditional forms of talk therapy. While clients have usually benefited from past therapy experiences, often these clients feel like they have hit a wall. Or their therapist may have sent them over for adjunct EMDR support, knowing that they’re needing something different.

It’s been my honor to witness many clients over the years process their past experiences, leaving so much more space and energy to engage in their lives.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to see if EMDR is a good fit for you.
