You don’t have to stay stuck in your past..
… EMDR CAN HELP
EMDR helps you put traumatic memories in the past.
Your mind naturally works to protect you and keep you alive and functioning. Sometimes, its protective nature makes the brain lock the traumatic experience into maladaptive responses or negative beliefs about yourself or the world. This defensive response causes the brain to stay stuck and puts its natural healing process on hold.
EMDR helps to break the pattern of thoughts and reactions that your trauma response has created. It works by processing traumatic or disturbing memories, and bringing them to an adaptive resolution!
Do you ever notice yourself defaulting to a negative belief about yourself or the world? Perhaps, you say, “I am not safe; I am not good enough; I am unlovable; I am not in control.” If so, you probably have trauma that still needs processing.
These negative comments keep you stuck and fearful. By taking steps to “re-process” these memories, you can put them in the past for good.
Lets discuss how EMDR could help you!
EMDR is a therapeutic approach considered one of the most effective forms of therapy in processing traumatic and/or disturbing memories.
EMDR effectively treats a wide range of disorders, including, but not limited to PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and OCD.
The EMDR process allows you to access disturbing memories otherwise locked in the brain. Accessing those memories helps your brain reprocess these disturbing memories, allowing you to heal, adapt, and respond to your present life.
After a successful treatment of EMDR, you will experience relief from the distress of the memories, allowing you to reformulate those negative beliefs and reduce physiological arousal.
