EMDR Helps Lift the Fog of Trauma
Trauma leaves a lasting impact.
“I can’t get what happened out of my mind. I haven’t felt rested in weeks/months/years.”
Flashbacks and nightmares can occur at any moment when you are dealing with trauma.
“I feel like an outsider in my home, like life is happening TO me, and around me, but I’m not there.”
Zoning out or feeling disconnected from your friends and family is a common side effect of trauma.
“I’m always on edge, lashing out over small things. I feel like I can’t control my emotions.”
Mood swings and outbursts become commonplace when your brain has not recovered from a traumatic event/s.
“My mind is always somewhere else. I replay that horrible day (or horrible years) over and over again.”
Lack of focus makes it difficult to move forward.
“Was I to blame? Did I do something wrong to deserve this?”
Self-doubt and insecurity are often triggered by trauma.
Stop allowing your past to control your present.
Trauma can be incredibly debilitating or an opportunity for profound growth.
EMDR lifts the fog of trauma.
EMDR therapy is not about reliving the pain of the past but about rewiring how your brain stores trauma so it no longer controls you.
Using bilateral stimulation and guided processing, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, allowing for natural healing. When a trauma event occurs (big or small), a biological and neurological change occurs within the brain.
Sometimes these events can be processed naturally, other times these trauma events get “stuck” and need assistance to heal. EMDR allows the neurological links connected to the trauma to be processed.
The outcome is a cognitive shift to a healthy belief system around the trauma event.
