Moving Beyond What Holds You Back
You’ve tried your best to move on, but something from the past still lingers — a painful memory, a bad accident, a broken trust, an unwanted sexual experience, or the echoes of a difficult childhood. Certain moments or relationships can stir up old fears, leaving you anxious, guarded, disconnected, or even dissociated.
You want to feel safe in your own skin again. You’re tired of shutting down or replaying scenes you wish you could forget. You long for peace and connection with yourself and others, yet your body keeps the score. A part of you still feels stuck — pretending you’re fine while quietly fighting a battle no one else can see.
Gentle Healing From Trauma
EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps your mind and body heal by reprocessing painful memories in a safe, guided way. It reduces the power of fear and negative beliefs formed from past experiences, allowing you to see yourself and your story with clarity and compassion.
As your brain integrates what once felt overwhelming, the emotional charge of those memories softens. You begin to feel calmer, and more at peace — not because the past disappears, but because it no longer controls the present.
What to Expect in a Session
EMDR focuses on processing one memory or theme at a time using a gentle, step-by-step approach that promotes both safety and healing. Through secure Zoom sessions, your therapist will guide you through the same structured, evidence-based process used in traditional EMDR therapy.
In your first session, you’ll work together to identify a specific “target memory” — often the most distressing or foundational experience linked to your current symptoms.
Each session begins with grounding and preparation to help you feel supported and in control. Your therapist will guide you to focus on that memory while using gentle eye movements, sounds, or self-guided hand squeezes to help your brain reprocess it in a new way. You don’t have to relive every detail of your trauma. Most people report feeling calmer and lighter afterward, as painful memories lose their emotional charge and feel more distant.
