EMDR Therapy addresses what happens after the critical incident has passed.
(Physical or sexual abuse, accident or invasive procedure, sudden loss). When the shock of the incident is gone, you may be haunted with a flood of memories and emotions.
There may be images in your mind or a nauseous reaction in your stomach that doesn’t go away. The memory may intrude on your sleep at night, or your focus throughout the day.
Common symptoms of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder):
- Sudden crying spells
- Flashes of memory or blank spots in memory
- Feeling jumpy or panicky at sudden noises
- Loss of interest or avoidance of previously enjoyed activities
- Feeling numb or lethargic
EMDR therapy offers a specific kind of support for post traumatic stress symptoms that can bring immediate and lasting relief.
It is a mind-body approach that processes traumatic memory such as assault, abuse, or sudden loss, so that you can truly move on and enjoy life again.
To see if this approach is right for you, contact me for a free 15 minute phone consult.
