Trauma Can Impact Every Aspect of Your Life
If you’ve landed on this page, you might be feeling stuck in the grip of past experiences, unable to break free. Dealing with past or present trauma can deeply affect all aspects of your life. Whether you’re seeking to move forward or simply cope with your current situation, the lingering effects of trauma can be challenging to overcome alone. At Saname Counseling, our mission is to guide you towards healing, fostering healthier connections with yourself and others, and empowering you to overcome the lingering effects of painful past experiences.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of many therapy approaches aimed at helping you heal from trauma by releasing old patterns and beliefs, unlocking your inner strengths for a more fulfilling life. With the guidance of an EMDR therapist, you can navigate trauma within a secure and supportive environment, fostering healing and peace.
EMDR Therapy Can Help
EMDR is a scientifically proven method for addressing trauma. EMDR works to change how our brains process traumatic memories and stress. Through this process, traumatic memories become less emotionally intense and overwhelming. As a result, your body, emotions, and brain can begin to heal from the distress and disconnection caused by trauma. With the support of an EMDR therapist, you can experience a reduction in the intensity of distressing emotions and notice improvements in your relationships and overall functioning in different aspects of your life.
EMDR Therapy can help people struggling with a wide range of issues such as:
- Sexual assault, violence, and abuse
- Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
- PTSD and complex trauma
- Obsessive compulsive disorder
- Grief and loss
- Attachment issues
- Eating disorders
- Negative self-talk
- Neglect and abandonment
How Does EMDR Therapy Work?
EMDR therapy offers a pathway to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress linked to traumatic and negative life experiences. EMDR therapy works by helping individuals process traumatic memories in a safe and structured manner. During a session, your EMDR therapist guides you in recalling distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation. This bilateral stimulation helps activate the brain’s natural healing processes, allowing the individual to reprocess the traumatic memories in a more adaptive way. As the processing continues, the emotional intensity and distress associated with the memories typically decrease, leading to symptom relief and a greater sense of empowerment and resolution. Over time, you will experience significant improvements in their mental and emotional well-being.
