EMDR Therapy

Change your life for the better

Signpost on top of the mountain warning challenges ahead and three options

  • Are you stuck?
  • Do you struggle with long standing issues?
  • Would you like to move on from these past struggles?
  • Do you have a lot of stress in your life?
  • Would you like to learn to enjoy your life now?
  • Would you like to have a happier life?

You can learn to change those longstanding old patterns that have been keeping you stuck. EMDR/Natural Processing helps your brain and body take stuck memories  and responses and process them. Then you can move on with your life and not be held back by these stuck responses to various life experiences. You can process painful memories and difficult life experiences, and transform them into being memories that no longer upset you.

These could be traumatic memories, or one time experiences, ie: a car accident, or an injury or a difficult relationship. It could also be a negative childhood experience that is preventing you from enjoying your life. Whatever the experience(s) are, we can discuss if EMDR/natural Processing is an effective treatment option for you.

What is EMDR/Natural Processing?

The mind can often heal itself naturally, in the same way the body does. Most of the time your mind and  body naturally manage new information and experiences without your conscious awareness. However when something out of the ordinary occurs that is overwhelming, like a car accident, an ongoing stress or childhood traumas, your natural abilities to manage these stresses can be overloaded. These experiences then become frozen in your brain and your body. These unprocessed memories  sit quietly in the background, influencing the choices you make in life. You have painful feelings which linger and manifest themselves in many ways such as anxiety, and depression, and often get repeatedly triggered. Your ability to live in the present and learn from new experiences can therefore become inhibited.

EMDR/Natural Processing uses the natural healing ability of your mind and body to process these frozen experiences. EMDR/Natural Processing is effective and efficient. The process accelerates therapy by resolving the impact of your past difficulties and traumas.

More about EMDR/Natural Processing

In EMDR/ Natural Processing we discuss how our Sympathetic Nervous System responds to our daily life. We use the Window of Tolerance as a guide to learn to better manage how we are functioning in our day to day life. We work on learning to listen to your natural responses to your life’s events. These responses become more accessible to you and help you make better choices and decisions.
