🌟 WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EMDR THERAPY?
EMDR is an amazing integrative psychotherapy that helps individuals of ALL ages heal from histories of trauma. Some of the potential benefits of EMDR Therapy may include:
🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮. Your past longer affecting your present. You feel able to fully live in the moment and not be haunted by things from the past.
🌟 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 Individuals struggling with unprocessed trauma may have difficulty with interpersonal relationships. Resolving the trauma can improve your behavior, which in turn, can improve how you interact with others.
🌟 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 The 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺 demonstrated the strong link between childhood trauma and heart disease. By working through that trauma, you can improve the stress levels in your body, which can improve your overall physical health
🌟 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Individuals with PTSD/CPTSD have difficulty with focus and attention. This is for many reasons, including the improper storage of the trauma memory in the brain and the nervous system stuck in a state of hypo or hyperarousal, which impacts one's ability to pay attention.
🌟 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 Hey guess what? If you're working on healing from your childhood trauma, that's going to have an amazing impact on your ability to effectively parent your own children. That's one of my most favorite aspects of trauma therapy - it doesn't just help the individual heal, but it helps the children of trauma survivors, so they can have the benefit of an emotionally regulated, attuned parent. That's how we can change the course of an entire generation's future ( )
