When the Past Is in the Present

​

Lately, your reactions feel big—and confusing.
They seem to come out of nowhere, beyond your control.

You’re feeling triggered—by your children, your partner, maybe even your coworkers—and it’s starting to affect your relationships, your peace of mind, and your performance at work.

No matter how hard you try, you keep getting pulled into the same old patterns—patterns that leave you feeling stuck, reactive, or ashamed.

​

Here’s the truth:

When something overwhelming happens—whether big or small—it leaves an imprint. You make meaning out of that experience, and often that meaning becomes a negative belief about yourself or the world.

Over time, these experiences form a lens—a tinted filter through which you view yourself, your relationships, and your reality. Even now, as an adult, that lens still colors your world… even if it no longer makes sense. You know something’s off, but you can’t quite put your finger on it.

That’s where EMDR therapy can help.

​

What Is EMDR?

​

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing experiences and the negative beliefs tied to them.

When a painful or overwhelming event occurs, your nervous system can get stuck in a kind of emotional freeze-frame. The memories—along with the thoughts, feelings, and sensations—don’t get fully processed. They stay stored in your system as if the danger is still happening.

Later, you might get triggered by something completely unrelated—your child’s tantrum, your partner’s tone, a comment at work—and suddenly, you’re flooded again. That’s your nervous system reacting to the past, not the present.

EMDR helps you access these unprocessed memories and remove the “blocks” that have been getting in the way of healing.

​

Think of It Like This:

Your brain has a built-in healing process, just like your body does.
If you get a cut, your body knows how to heal. But if a piece of debris gets stuck in the wound, it can’t close properly.
In the same way, your brain can heal from emotional wounds—once the block is cleared.

EMDR activates the brain’s natural healing ability and helps you release the emotional charge stuck in the memory network, so you can finally move forward.

​

EMDR Isn’t Just for Trauma

​

While EMDR is well-known for treating trauma, it’s also been highly effective for:

• Anxiety & panic attacks

• Chronic stress & burnout

• Depression

• Perfectionism

• People-pleasing

• Performance anxiety

• Self-worth issues

• And more

​

You don't have to keep living in survival mode. 

EMDR offers a way to find lasting relief—and reclaim the life you were meant to live.
