Do I have trauma?

You might be feeling stuck due to trauma, past memories, or relationship and attachment injuries. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) may be an effective treatment for you. Both “big” trauma (like witnessing a death) and “little” trauma (like being rejected) have a blocking effect on our emotions, our self-esteem, our belief system, and even our body sensations. EMDR can help speed up the process of healing from experiences that have caused emotional trauma.

EMDR counseling uses bilateral motion (eye movement, tapping, or sound) to decrease the distress stored in the body by painful experiences. You won’t forget or erase memories, but will be able to experience more calm instead of panic, more hope instead of helplessness, and more confidence instead of doubt. I highly recommend this trauma therapy as an integrated approach for mind, body, and emotional healing.
