YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEEL STUCK ANYMORE
EMDR & IFS Therapy for Women in Utah
In-person in Draper or virtually throughout Utah
You’ve been through some painful experiences, and notice they still affect you.
You’ve coped the best you can, and learned tools and strategies, but you’re still having the same unwanted reactions. You’re resilient and have dealt with a lot, but you don’t feel like you’re thriving. Your body might feel stress and anxiety when you’re around a particular person, in a certain situation, or experiencing an uncomfortable emotion. Despite all the effort you put into feeling better, it’s not changing.
YOU’RE STILL FEELING…
Stuck and shut-down
Anxious and stressed
Overwhelmed by painful emotions
EMDR therapy can help you.
EMDR, or eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing, is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain and body reprocess difficult experiences so you feel calmer. It works to repair the mental injury that can come from a traumatic event.
EMDR can help you shift negative beliefs, feelings, and body sensations so you are no longer stuck in the same patterns.
How EMDR works
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (right and left movement) to calm the brain while reprocessing a painful experience. The bilateral movement helps reduce distress, anxiety, and overwhelm so you can feel calmer and more neutral.
-
EMDR therapy helps facilitate the brain’s natural healing process, so you’re not as affected by difficult memories, triggers, and emotions.
It follows 8 phases that shift negative core beliefs, body sensations, and overwhelming emotions.
What to expect
EMDR therapy starts with:
-
Obtaining background information about you
-
Identifying past experiences that are linked to how you feel now in the present
-
Using tools to help you feel calmer and more confident
When you feel ready to work through something difficult, bilateral stimulation will be used to reduce overwhelm and support your brain’s natural healing process.
EMDR therapy can also help with current triggers, not just the past. It allows you to feel more in control and confident when you face challenges in the future.
How it can help you
EMDR therapy can help your body feel calmer and no longer have unwanted reactions when you’re triggered.
By reprocessing past experiences, they move from being distressing, to becoming calm and neutral. You can then move forward with more confidence and peace.
Lasting change occurs with EMDR because you are directly addressing the origins of painful emotions and negative beliefs. EMDR helps your brain store traumatic memories in an adaptive way, instead of a maladaptive way
