Any attempt to treat trauma needs to address the person as a whole — physical, emotional, cognitive, and relational aspects. Trauma affects every system, and EMDR therapy is designed to work across all of these domains by integrating body-based awareness, emotional processing, cognitive restructuring, and adaptive memory reconnection.

We lose perspective through trauma, but we often gain patience. Everyone struggles with something — some struggles are visible, others stay hidden. But no one is free from them. With EMDR therapy, perspective can return, and we need to stay patient with the process.

The perception of reality is more real than reality itself. Kant introduced the idea that we never perceive the noumenon (the thing-in-itself), only the phenomenon, the thing as it appears to us. The matters you focus on and give your energy and attention to will become your reality, filtered through selective perception and driven by deprived needs. The mind shapes experience to confirm what it already believes and to seek what has remained unmet within.

Many of humanity’s struggles arise from our difficulty in simply sitting quietly alone. The ability to be with oneself, without distraction or constant stimulation, is a cornerstone of emotional maturity.

Children who are constantly occupied or externally engaged may miss the quiet moments that teach self-regulation and reflection. In those still spaces, they learn to listen to their inner world, tolerate emotions, and build an internal sense of safety. Learning how to be alone, and to feel content in that solitude, is not about loneliness; it’s about cultivating inner security and a stable sense of self.

For many people with insecure attachment histories, silence or solitude can feel deeply uncomfortable or even threatening. They may associate being alone with abandonment, neglect, or emotional emptiness. In therapy, developing the capacity to sit quietly,to be with oneself without avoidance, often becomes a central part of change and emotional growth.

In therapy, the way we ask questions shapes awareness.
Asking “What’s your experience right now?” naturally promotes meta-awareness, helping clients observe the totality of their inner world (thoughts, emotions, sensations and ...) rather than being consumed by emotion.

By contrast, “How do you feel?”—though well-intentioned—has become overused, often leading to automatic or surface-level replies like “fine” or “sad.”
Inviting someone to describe their experience opens space for curiosity, embodiment, and deeper therapeutic insight.

Respond, don't react! EMDR therapy helps clients respond instead of reaction because it works on memories which become "stuck” after trauma.

EMDR therapy is based on the Adaptive Information Processing model to resolve symptoms resulting from disturbing and unprocessed life experiences. EMDR therapy is an eight phase treatment model and eye movement (a bilateral stimulation: auditory or tactile) is one component of the treatment approach. EMDR therapy has proved to be a valid treatment approach for other conditions with a wide range of treatment protocols for anxiety, phobia, specific phobia, panic attacks, pain management, anger, attachment repair, addiction and so forth. Therefore, EMDR therapy is no longer limited to the treatment of PTSD. EMDR is also increasingly being used to enhance performance for people at work, in sports and in the performing arts.
