EMDR therapy from your couch (or anywhere) in Alabama, Colorado, North Carolina, & Oregon.
EMDR is like turning the volume down on intense emotions.
Imagine you're watching a movie on Netflix, and suddenly, the volume gets turned up really loud. To level 100.
The sound is so overwhelming you’d like to jump right out of your skin. It’s uncomfortable and hard to focus on anything else. Full sensory overload.
Now, imagine that you have a special remote control called EMDR.
When you use this remote, it's like turning the volume down on those intense emotions.
The noise becomes quieter and more manageable. You can think more clearly, and the overwhelming feelings start to fade away.
With each session of EMDR therapy, it's like adjusting the volume until you find that sweet spot where emotions are no longer overpowering.
You feel more at ease, able to handle whatever comes your way without feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions.
What healing looks like:
A brief walk-through of how EMDR sessions flow:
We won’t jump right into the difficult memories. We’ll start with some prep work.
Like new tools to help you feel safe and supported as you revisit the tough stuff.
When you're ready, we'll explore the memories that need attention.
We’ll use a technique to do this, you get to choose: eye movement, tapping, or sounds. (Don’t worry, we’ll practice first.)
This will help you concentrate on the thoughts, feelings, and images from the difficult memories.
We'll organize everything in ways that make you feel better.
We'll continue with more sessions and celebrate your progress and relief as you notice breakthroughs.
The memories have faded into the background, allowing you to finally move forward from them.
