Ever notice feeling wound up and not understanding why? Or maybe you always just feel off or edgy, and can't really pinpoint a precipitating event? This is likely some sort of suppression happening. In today's world, we are constantly suppressing our feelings so that we can keep pushing ourselves, but this is exactly why we have so much discontent and unhappiness! We are not connecting these feelings to what we're avoiding because... well... isn't that the point of avoidance πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ We have to start doing better! For ourselves! If you'd like to learn different ways of living, contact me to set up a session. I can help! Love you all, friends. You matter πŸ₯°

Do you agree with this, or does it look differently to you? The way I see it is that we cannot please everyone, but we are the only ones who can truly please ourselves. In order to be ok, I must draw boundaries, be intentional about my life and who/what I let into my circle, and allow for some space to be alone. This means that I will sometimes be alone (and maybe even lonely), because there will undoubtedly be some rejection from those who do not want or like my boundaries or intentions! That's just how it is. I would love to see a world where more of us could be ok with that, and simply accept that for what it is. It's not a personal rejection, but rather says something about what the other person can or cannot bring in their lives at the time. Not personal at all! Thoughts? Please comment below. This is such a great and important conversation.

EMDR has a long name that doesn't really doesn't make sense to a lot of people. Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing??? What the heck does that mean? Even the researchers have noted that they wished a different name had been chosen, but the name EMDR has stuck. Long story short, it's a brain-based therapy that works differently than traditional talk therapy. It works to integrate memories within the brain by essentially syncing both sides of the brain so that the stuck memories can move toward healing. You finally get to leave the past in the past, while responding to today's world without being triggered by old memories or experiences. Doesn't that sound amazing?! It's a simple process that's led by a skilled EMDR-trained therapist. If you'd like to learn more, contact me today. I'm here to help!
Lots of love, friends πŸ˜πŸ˜˜πŸ™‚

Your body really does want to heal! It also has what it needs to do so. It is likely even functioning as it's supposed to right now, trying to protect you from danger. However, sometimes it gets stuck or clogged and needs a little extra push. EMDR can be that push! It's a gentle and thorough way to process unsettled traumas or feelings that seem to have you stuck. Contact me for more information! I'm here to help :-)
Sending lots of love to you all today πŸ’œπŸ’™πŸ’š

EMDR intensives are unique personalized treatment plans that are designed to fulfill your individual needs, so that we can make the best use of your precious time. Intensives are great for people who don't have the flexibility in their schedules to meet for an hour every week. They are also great for highly motivated people with specific treatment goals in mind.

We choose a time allotment that works for you, such as half-day or three-day plans where we can focus solely on what matters for a dedicated period of time without spending as much time catching up at the beginning of each weekly session and closing down at the end. Instead, we get to keep our flow throughout an extended timeframe.

I also offer pre-arranged concierge services for those who would like to come out to the Brunswick County beaches to do in-person intensives while also enjoying all that our beautiful beach community has to offer, such as hot yoga, float spa, massage, fresh seafood, beautiful scenic beaches and lots of sunshine!

Contact me today to learn more. Summer slots will fill up, so don't wait!

**Current clients will get a reduced rate for this initial intensive season :-)

What are you doing to celebrate your family today?
If you don't have a family nearby, you can still practice self-care! Or maybe you have a precious pet that you can spend the day with - that's family too :-)
Lots of love, friends!

Triggers are inside of all of us, whether we are aware of them or not. Triggers are those pesky things that come up when we get annoyed at someone for something that isn't really a big deal (or maybe it is!). Triggers are things that we tend to react out of proportion to what would be considered usual in a situation.

For example, say someone comments on my outfit as being cute but they use a specific tone that reminds me of an ex-partner who used to be sarcastic and critical about my appearance. I may react in anger and tell the person off. Meanwhile, they're sitting there completely baffled by my reaction because I'm not responding in proportion to what just happened. I'm actually responding to a past event that is stuck in my memory.

Can you think of times when you've reacted this way? Feel free to share examples in the comments so we can talk about them. It helps to know that we are not alone in these feelings!

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can be incredibly beneficial in several ways:

Processing Traumatic Memories: EMDR helps you process distressing memories by stimulating both sides of your brain through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or taps. This process allows your brain to reprocess the memory in a way that reduces its emotional intensity.

Reducing Distress: By reprocessing traumatic memories, EMDR can significantly reduce the emotional distress associated with them. This can lead to a greater sense of emotional well-being and relief from symptoms like anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Changing Negative Beliefs: EMDR helps you identify and challenge negative beliefs that stem from past traumas. Through the therapy process, you can develop more adaptive and positive beliefs about yourself and the world around you.

Promoting Healing and Integration: EMDR facilitates the integration of traumatic memories into your broader life narrative. Instead of feeling fragmented or overwhelmed by past experiences, you can achieve a greater sense of wholeness and coherence.

Improving Coping Skills: As you progress through EMDR therapy, you'll learn valuable coping skills and emotional regulation techniques to manage triggers and stressors more effectively.

Enhancing Self-Efficacy: By confronting and processing past traumas, EMDR can enhance your sense of self-efficacy and empowerment. You'll gain confidence in your ability to navigate challenges and overcome obstacles in your life.

Overall, EMDR offers a structured and evidence-based approach to healing from past traumas and reclaiming your life. If you're struggling with the lingering effects of trauma, EMDR therapy may provide the support and tools you need to move forward with greater resilience and well-being. πŸŒ±πŸ’«

Bilateral stimulation can be a fantastic tool for calming the mind and body. Here's how you can use it:

Choose Your Method: Decide on a bilateral stimulation technique that works for you. This could include tapping your knees, alternating hand taps, or using a bilateral stimulation device like a buzzing or vibrating tool.

Find a Comfortable Position: Sit or lie down in a comfortable position where you can relax without any distractions.

Focus on Your Breathing: Start by taking a few deep breaths to center yourself and bring your attention to the present moment.

Engage in Bilateral Stimulation: Begin the bilateral stimulation technique of your choice. For example, if you're tapping your knees, alternate tapping your right knee with your right hand and your left knee with your left hand.

Stay Present: As you engage in the bilateral stimulation, focus your attention on the physical sensation you're experiencing. Notice the rhythm of the tapping or the sensation of the vibrations.

Combine with Mindfulness: While engaging in bilateral stimulation, you can also practice mindfulness by gently observing any thoughts, feelings, or sensations that arise without judgment.

Continue for Several Minutes: Keep up the bilateral stimulation for several minutes or until you start to feel a sense of calmness and relaxation wash over you.

Reflect: After you've finished, take a moment to reflect on how you feel. Notice any changes in your mood, stress level, or physical sensations.

Remember, everyone responds differently to bilateral stimulation, so it's essential to experiment and find what works best for you. Whether you use it as a standalone technique or incorporate it into your relaxation routine, bilateral stimulation can be a valuable tool for calming the mind and promoting relaxation. πŸŒΏπŸ’«
