Fun fact Friday!

EMDR is a trauma therapy that was created by Dr. Francine Shapiro who started pondering the therapeutic use of eye movement patterns while walking in a park.

If that doesn’t inspire you to go take a walk in the park, I don’t know what will! Who knows what you’ll discover 🤍

As a therapist I work with a lot of people who are feeling down, depressed, or hopeless. I connect so much with the term “hope holder” because it’s my greatest honor and privilege to hold hope for my clients during periods where they’re not able to find it for themselves 🩷

You are well within your rights to keep talking s**t 🫣 but healing your heart can get you closer to where you want to be & with less resentment and anger 🩷

There’s no better inner child healing than creating a beautiful life she would love. Some of my most powerful EMDR moments include taking this little version of myself out of her life & showing her mine; letting her know that she survived and that life is actually worth living now.

I love doing inner child work with EMDR, both as a therapist & as a client 🥹🩷

Logging out >>> locking in 🤣

Does it ever feel like the trauma you experienced happened just yesterday (regardless of how long ago it was)? This is super common with trauma. One of my favorite parts of EMDR is allowing the unconscious mind to know that the trauma really is over & you are safe now. You can switch over to rest & digest and finally get out of fight/flight/freeze. Our narratives shift a lot after EMDR & there’s so much freedom that comes from that.

It was a bad time 🥺 ➡️ I survived 🥹

Not my first time in therapy! So here’s the “run down” of my life… 😅

It’s so much more common than you realize to have parts of your life that you are not ready to talk about/can’t talk about when you first get to therapy. Believe me when I say, that’s TOTALLY OKAY. Zero shame. No problem. Take your time. When you’re ready, your therapist will be there to support you through it. Sometimes we have to let those protective parts know that it’s truly safe to share before it will allow you to open up about it.

this & ignoring the intrusive thoughts when you get close to the edge 🤣

My favorite part of vacation is losing awareness of time. In my real life I am SO time aware that it’s exhausting. When I’m on a trip I don’t have anywhere to be at any certain time. It’s glorious. I sleep like a baby. My anxiety goes to the lowest possible level.

If you’re time-oriented, are you able to turn it off for vacay? ☀️

One thing about me as a therapist & business owner: I will respond to new client inquiries the second I see them 🩷 so in some ways I really do live in firefighter mode. I will respond immediately with my availability (or lack thereof) so clients can decide if they’re able to wait until I have a date open or if they would like a referral. Access to care often means making sure there is no delay & that’s important to me.

Is it a trauma response or an anxiety disorder?

Overthinking everything can absolutely be a result of either. Feeling like you’re doing something wrong. Constantly assessing if you’re going to get in trouble (even as an adult). If this is coming up for you, EMDR might be able to help.
