EMDR
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapeutic approach that helps your brain reprocess disturbing past events. This allows you to heal and adapt to life around you in a more positive way.
Why choose EMDR? Your Mind is a Fortress. Your brain wants to protect you because, after all, one of the main goals your brain and body have is to keep you alive and healing. But life is not linear, and sometimes the brain needs an extra boost to help it process information.
When your brain becomes overwhelmed because of traumatic experiences, it “freezes.” Instead of processing and integrating the experience into a coherent narrative that you can understand, the image of that experience becomes frozen and ingrained in your system.
Because a traumatic event blocks the brain’s natural response to heal, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering that changes how we view ourselves and the world.
EMDR helps reprocess those blocks.
Do you ever wonder why you can’t shake a certain feeling? Do you keep going back to this misconception about yourself and the world?
Your mind says, “I should have done more, I am not safe, I am not in control, I am not enough, this will never change because I can’t change.”
Those comments you tell yourself keep you stuck in a never-ending cycle, keeping you fearful of the world around you. EMDR can help shed light on these persistent patterns by targeting the underlying experiences that contribute to them.
The process of EMDR therapy explores the “frozen” experiences that have become engrained in your mind. By safely and gently revisiting these memories, you have the opportunity to reprocess them in a new light. This reprocessing helps you challenge and reshape the negative beliefs and self-perception that are keeping you stuck in a cycle of fear and limitation.
Through this process, you can put the past in the past and move forward with a greater sense of empowerment and freedom. EMDR provides the tools to heal and release the grip that these experiences have on you, allowing you to embrace a more positive and resilient outlook on yourself and the world around you.
