There is a common misconception that EMDR is only for those who have experienced heavy, ongoing trauma in their life. Though it is also extremely effective for intense trauma, EMDR can also treat smaller traumas one experiences in their life. Take a look at these questions and see if anything resonates with you. If you are ready to begin healing from past trauma, reach out and we will gladly help you in your healing journey!

Maybe you've had a traumatic experience or series of experiences in your life that you thought you moved on from but never really addressed. To have to dig up those experiences and feel the pain of them again may sound uncomfortable or maybe even impossible. The interesting thing to understand is that you already are feeling the pain and experiencing the effects from the trauma, you just might not realize that it's from your trauma. If you take time to process what you have been through, you just might notice these symptoms start to go away. It is worth facing these things in order to have peace of mind and return to a healthier, more functional life.

It's easy to take our own perceptions, opinions, thoughts, and feelings, and consider them to be truth. Remember that there is a difference between our interpretations of events and actual, concrete facts. Our minds are so powerful, but they sometimes may interpret or think something that simply isn't true. Take some time to reflect on some thoughts that you're having today and ask yourself: "Is that just my interpretation, or is that an actual fact?"
