EMDR and Somatic Therapy

EMDR Therapy

A structured, evidence-based approach to healing trauma, attachment wounds, and emotional overwhelm.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapy used to help the brain safely process painful memories so they no longer feel triggering or overwhelming. It’s especially effective for people who experienced childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or distressing events that still impact daily life and relationships. EMDR sessions are gentle, collaborative, and paced to your nervous system’s capacity.

What EMDR Helps With

  • Childhood trauma and emotional neglect

  • Attachment wounds and relationship triggers

  • Anxiety, panic, and overwhelm

  • Flashbacks or intrusive thoughts

  • Low self-worth rooted in past experiences

  • Difficult memories that feel “stuck”

Healing that supports your nervous system, your body, and the parts of you shaped by early family experiences.

Somatic therapy is a body-based approach that looks at how stress, trauma, and past relationships live in the body — not just in the mind.
Instead of focusing only on talking through problems, somatic work helps you notice:

  • tension

  • sensations

  • patterns of shutting down

  • moments when your body goes into “survival mode”

This awareness helps you move toward more regulation, grounding, and emotional clarity.
It’s especially supportive for people who grew up with high expectations, emotional neglect, or parents who were struggling with their own trauma.

What Somatic Therapy Can Help With

  • Chronic stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

  • Freeze, shutdown, or feeling “numb”

  • Physical tension connected to past experiences

  • Difficulty managing emotions during conflict or stress

  • People-pleasing, fawning, or automatic survival patterns

  • Relationship triggers and attachment wounds

  • Low self-worth related to childhood experiences

  • Difficult memories or feelings that feel “stuck”
