BENEFITS OF EMDR VS TRADITIONAL THERAPY

BENEFITS OF EMDR VS TRADITIONAL THERAPY

Don’t have time to go to therapy? Don’t want to get into” it”? Don’t even know what “it” is? What takes months or years in traditional therapy can take weeks with EMDR. With intensive EMDR sessions you can feel better in a matter of 2-3 sessions and not have to talk about what you are feelings or process emotions like you do in traditional therapies. 

You don't have to settle or struggle through life.

learn what you need & what needs to go

Is there a part of you that wants to change and a part of you that's nervous about it?  Do you want to reduce stress, understand your moods, anger or frustrations? Are you ready to heal from trauma or distressing life events? Let's figure it out together.

Get Started

WHAT?

Do you find yourself reaching for the Oreos as soon as your spouse brings up finances? Do you suddenly remember you have to clean out the fish tank or organize your sock drawer as soon as you sit down to work on a presentation or email your boss? Do you spend hours cursing the driver who cut in front of you? Maybe you overeat, can’t sleep, drink too much, or avoid social situations and you want to change but whenever you try your old habits resurface. 


WHY?

A fundamental truth is that humans need to feel safe. Knowingly or unknowingly we develop thought, behavior and emotional patterns that our mind and body believe will keep us safe, but are actually counterproductive. Finding out where these patterns originate is not just a matter of mere curiosity, it can be the answer to many of our problems. We often blame others, hormones, genes, work etc. for a myriad of health problems. We don’t often ask our doctors or even ourselves if our health problems, behaviors, patterns, or emotional triggers come from past stressors or even trauma.

HOW?

In today’s culture these avoidant, deflective habits may not raise eyebrows but they certainly don't make us feel well. Understand the mind/body safety connection and how it relates to everything from everyday life stressors to trauma and what you can do about it through EMDR.

EMDR and EMDR Intensives


Opting for extended sessions (90 minutes) or  intensives (2-3 hours) over traditional weekly sessions can be a game-changer. The extended session and intensive treatment model is gaining popularity and is a better fit  for you if you:

  • Navigating a hectic schedule or a high-pressure career often makes it tough to maintain regular therapy sessions. Intensive therapy can help you attain personal growth and maintain mental well-being without the commitment of weekly appointments.
  • You have tried weekly therapy in the past but struggled to make significant progress.
  • If your current therapist suggested exploring EMDR intensive therapy


 Through personalized treatment, we can work on symptom reduction, feeling in control of your life and move you towards a more joyful and fulfilling life.

 

Introduction to EMDR Video

EMDR is a fast and effective therapy for trauma and a host of mental illnesses. It is a cost effective treatment and the results are felt within just a few sessions. 


                             EMDR Extended Sessions and Intensives 

Research shows that clients completing intensive treatment can make as much progress in the condensed format as in standard weekly sessions. This can remove weeks or months of living with trauma symptoms.

EMDR, emDR Extended Sessions and EMDR Intensives

If I said to you, “Knock Knock” what would your response be? Would it be, “Who’s There?” If so, this is because your brain automatically links to a learned response without you even thinking about it.  This is fine, but if your automatic brain is running your life, you may experience situations that are not fine for you. Intrusive and/or  negative thoughts, beliefs  or images, can lead you down a catastrophic trail. One second you didn’t turn in a work assignment and the next you imagine yourself being fired. 


 How did you get there? 

You’re not alone and you’re not crazy.  

Best of all there is help. 





 

WHY EMDR?

If you experience feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness, or feel as if you have no choice or control, EMDR  can help you feel better and reclaim  your life. You don't have to  be hijacked back to the past. Control your moods and actions for both major life situations and seemingly benign, mildly annoying situations without intense and overwhelming emotions. 


Are you yelling at your kids or your spouse? 


Saying things to yourself you wouldn't utter to anyone else? 


Feeling defeated and depleted? 


There is an explanation and an answer. 


The goal of EMDR therapy is to process traumatic or distressing life experiences that are causing problems now.  Complete treatment of a single EMDR trauma target involves a three-pronged protocol to alleviate the symptoms and address the complete clinical picture. The three prongs include:

  1. past memories
  2. present disturbance
  3. future actions
