Even when you have worked hard to rise above something painful, the body and mind can hold onto the imprint long after the moment has passed.

EMDR reprocessing creates the internal environment needed for that old material to finally settle.

You approach the memory from a place of stability that was not available to you at the time. Your system updates the emotional meaning in a way that feels safe and grounded.

The heaviness relaxes. The urgency fades. The old activation loses its grip on your present life.

This is not about reliving the experience. It is about allowing your nervous system to release what it no longer needs to protect you from.

Many clients describe this work as the first time something inside them truly lets go.

You start to realize being treated poorly wasn’t your fault, and that awareness lands in a way you can feel in your chest.

For years you worked to be easy, lovable, agreeable, accommodating, anything that would make someone offer you the kind of basic kindness you always gave without hesitation.

You weren’t too much.
You weren’t hard to love.
You weren’t the reason someone chose to withhold care.
You were a person who learned to work for what should have been freely given.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Your body finally exhales.
Your younger self finally gets the truth.
Your present self starts to recognize the difference between love and emotional scarcity.

This is the moment healing begins, not by blaming yourself, but by understanding the story you were handed and choosing a different one.

This is the work I do as an EMDR-trained therapist who integrates IFS and ACT. I love how meaningful and impactful this work is every day. 🥰🥰🥰

Fa la la la aaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Just kidding, I always make sure to give my clients plenty of notice about taking time off, and making sure they have ample resources including a back up therapist if needed.

When you finally decide your peace matters more than everyone else’s opinion. Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? My mental health is jingling all the way.

Ah yes, it’s all coming together.
