EMDR/Trauma work

EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING

The effects of trauma can vary widely. It may lead to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, lack of feeling safe, and negative beliefs about ourselves.

Trauma can take many different forms, from a single disturbing event to smaller cumulative events. Examples of cumulative experiences that individuals often overlook as trauma are childhood occurrences of feeling unloved, feeling not good enough and feeling invisible

With trauma, disturbing memories are often frozen in our brains, meaning that the memory still holds the original emotions, physical sensations, and beliefs. It is these unprocessed memories that continue to negatively impact our lives and ability to move forward. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can unlock those memories and rewire your brain, allowing you to process and let go of the trauma so that your thoughts and emotions are no longer dictated by the experience.  EMDR is an evidence-based approach that assists in creating profound shifts that move us into healing.
