EMDR Therapy
It doesn’t matter how much time passes…
- When talking about it hasn’t helped –
- When talking about it is too painful –
- When “it’s” there, but you don’t know what it is or why it won’t resolve –
The feelings are still fresh.
“That was years ago – why can’t I shake it??”
Maybe you tell yourself, “It wasn’t that bad,” or “Other people have had it worse.”
Somehow, though… it doesn’t make you feel any better.
How could you when…
You’re anxious and can’t relax…. not even at home. There’s a constant feeling of dread you can’t shake.
Maybe you wake up in the middle of the night, sweating from a nightmare you can’t fully recall.
The more you ignore the feelings or try to push through, the more they erupt unexpectedly. You blow up, feel out of control, or shut down and collapse.
It’s like you’re hiding in plain sight – like you’re not in the driver’s seat of your life.
Maybe you’ve tried talking about it…
You may have even seen a therapist.
But you didn’t get any answers about why you feel this way… and it didn’t make you feel any better.
Like many who’ve suffered from trauma, you probably pushed or faked your way through it.
One thing’s for sure, though: You’re tired of feeling broken.
We have something that can change your life.
It’s different from traditional talk therapy. In fact, studies show that repeatedly talking about traumatic events (thought of as “desensitization”) has been proven NOT to be the best way to resolve how you feel right now. Most therapists are not trained to see the signs or know what to do.
TADAS offers you something advanced that’s not taught in graduate school.
It’s called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
EMDR therapy is a safe, incredibly effective tool for treating trauma-related symptoms. It uses the natural healing systems of your body and brain to reprocess those memories that couldn’t fully heal. And it can work much faster than traditional therapy. Some report results after a single session!
We can pair EMDR with a related treatment called Brainspotting.
Brainspotting is another useful tool that helps your brain and body reprocess painful memories.
We can use these tools interchangeably. Some people respond better to one than the other, and we offer both.
And the best part: You don’t have to relive those painful memories repeatedly during treatment.
Here’s what we’ll do…
First, we’ll get to know each other. We’ll slowly develop rapport and make sure you feel safe and secure. This is absolutely necessary.
We’ll then work on connecting you with your body. This will involve some calming exercises for you to use daily.
When you’re ready, we’ll choose the memories you wish to target. You’ll then be guided through a process that uses simple movements (like eye movements or tapping) that allow your brain to heal and your body to release the memories.
Your therapist will walk you through it all and be with you every step of the way.
You are not alone.
EMDR can leave you feeling calmer and more centered after just a few sessions.
Imagine waking each morning after a gentle night’s rest…
Speak your peace without collapsing into fear…
Move forward with restored confidence…
Be present and enjoy time with loved ones…
It’s time to heal your past and embrace your future!
