Eye Movement, Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
We have all experienced trauma in our lives.
Lately, you’ve been isolating yourself, suffering from dreams and flashbacks of events you thought you had gotten over.
You’re afraid of how others will perceive what you’re going through, so you’ve avoided talking to friends and family.
This has caused you to feel as if you’re becoming a different person because you are not able to get over what happened.
It may not be what you think.
You may believe that you don’t have trauma because you were never abused by your parents or another adult as a child.
However, the trauma may be in your childhood – it could be the time you were laughed at in 5th grade by classmates during a speech you gave.
Although you’re an adult now and not in the 5th grade, you feel terrified about public speaking because of that experience when you were 11 years old.
You’d be surprised what you’re carrying around with you.
Trauma can also be from a more recent experience, such as that time in college. You carry a lot of shame because you and your friends were driving and were pulled over by the police.
You can’t get over how you felt humiliated and powerless about having to get out of the car and sit on the side of the road with your hands behind your back.
You remember students from your college and other bystanders looking at you and your friends like you were criminals.
You still carry that negative thought in your head: “I’m a bad person, and everybody knows it.”
EMDR can help.
No matter what you have experienced, EMDR is one of the most effective forms of therapy to treat trauma.
It’s helpful for individuals who have experienced an individual traumatic event or trauma over a period of time.
The name Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing comes from the idea that repeated eye movement (back and forth), together with a person thinking about a traumatic memory, causes negative feelings toward the memory to decrease.
In time, you’ll find that the memory no longer negatively impacts you, helping you feel more at peace.
Get the relief you’ve been waiting for.
EMDR will help you process the trauma and be free from the memories that haunt you.
Imagine what it will be like not feeling as though you are always under attack. No longer will your wife have to convince you that you’re safe and that no one is out to get you.
Now that you have processed your trauma with EMDR, that pit in your stomach is gone, and you’re no longer thinking of something bad happening.
Your sleep will be better. No more bad dreams of the horror you lived in your earlier life. You will no longer wake up with sore jaws from clenching your teeth during your sleep.
EMDR will free you from that heaviness you’ve experienced for most of your life.
