Past events make moving forward impossible.
“I’m not deserving. I’m not safe. When things start going well, something bad will come.” The inner voice repeats words like worthless, bad, not enough, unsafe.
The way you feel contradicts your logic. You are struggling to move forward and want relief, but are terrified of opening past events.
At the same time, you worry that you won’t be able to handle the discomfort that comes with opening the past back up. Maybe you tell yourself, “I have processed the past.”
Although you tell yourself that you have dealt with the past, it seems to keep you in a never-ending cycle of worry and uncertainty.
You’ve been trying to move forward on your own. Logically, you know things are different. You are safe, it’s not your fault, and you don’t need to control every little thing.
Unfortunately, you are still unable to move forward or let go of the past, leaving you stuck in recurring patterns.
This is what happens when your mind and body do not fully process a traumatic event. Unknowingly, emotions and thoughts associated with distressing experiences are still embedded there.
This recurring pattern directly affects the intensity of how you feel, how you think, and the actions you take or don’t take. Often, you are responding from the fight-or-flight or freeze mechanism hardwired into your system. This explains the inability to move forward.
EMDR is an evidence-based treatment with excellent efficacy resulting in real change. Yes, real change!
It isn’t talk therapy. The applied techniques target the recurring loops in the session. Reprocessing techniques shift your thoughts, feelings, and actions. As a result, you will begin to notice relief from fears and will be more willing to engage and act.
Tension is less, hope is budding, and a sense of empowerment is developing. Belief in things becomes possible. This shift is leading you to forward movement.
Isn’t it time to move beyond the past and start living in the present?
It’s time to believe anything is possible for you. I believe in you, and I haven’t even met you yet.
EMDR can help you process past experiences so they no longer continue to impact your entire life.
