Have you experienced a traumatic event which caused feelings of fear, helplessness or horror; do you find yourself reliving the event or avoiding reminders of the event? Are you easily startled? Do you find that talking about it hasn’t led to the results you're looking for, such as freedom from your symptoms? Are you feeling stuck? Do you find that you are still easily triggered and unable to gain control over your life? When talking isn’t enough, EMDR is often the answer! Treatment includes history taking, assessment, symptom reduction strategies, followed by processing the trauma, & re-evaluation to ensure trauma is cleared.
I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant. I have been working with trauma survivors since 2000 and provide consultation to other EMDR therapists. As an EMDR specialist, I primarily treat anxiety, depression, & PTSD re: accidents, historical abuse, war, violence, sex crimes, bullying, lateral violence, illness or death.
Often, traumatic experiences cause our nervous systems to go into survival mode: a fight, flight or freeze response. When these traumatic events are not processed, they become locked in short term memory. These memories can be triggered even years later, causing a reliving of the initial trauma. Processing those traumas holistically can provide real freedom.
