EMDR & Trauma Therapy In San Francisco
Trauma can look like…
a painful breakup
a confusing interaction with a friend that spirals into the end of a relationship
feeling like you don’t know who you are because you always had to do the right thing because you were the “good” child
anxiety that you can’t quite shake
physical or emotional neglect
death of a loved one
living or working in a high-stress environment
getting fired or laid off
Trauma isn’t always a big catastrophic event.
It is not limited to serious abuse or neglect. If you are noticing yourself looping on distressing events or memories, trauma treatment can help.
What is EMDR and Trauma Therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a well tested and popular treatement for trauma. It uses specific eye movements to reprocess or recategorize a memory.
In EMDR, you focus on the traumatic memory for short periods of time and the thoughts and sensations associated with it. The eye movements help the brain process the trauma more quickly and move the memory out of a trauma space in the brain. This will lessen the distressing emotions connected to the trauma.
If you would like more information about EMDR, email Audrey or check out EMDRIA, the international organization connected with this trauma therapy.
3 Reasons To Try EMDR Therapy in SF
When Talk Therapy Is Not Enough- Talk Therapy Can Be Very Useful but ultimately has its limitations when it comes to clearing up trauma and helping people clear their bodies’ responses and reactions to trauma.
When You Want Freedom From Past Experiences—EMDR helps people clear the past and focus on developing a healthier perspective of the past, present, and future. People who are successful at EMDR report no longer feeling triggered by things that have bothered them in the past.
When You Find It Hard To Talk About Your Trauma- Unlike other trauma treatments, EMDR does not require you to talk about your past traumas to achieve healing; this decreases the chances of clients being re-traumatized or going back into their past.
