Happy Sign Language week 🙌🏽 #SLW2025 What it means to us- Everything! It’s a lifeline to connection, expression, and belonging. It shapes how Deaf people experience the world, build relationships, and access mental health support. As a Deaf therapy service, we reflect on how language and culture shape mental health. We encourage Deaf people to seek therapy from those that truly understand their lived experience- without barriers, miscommunication, or stigma. A celebration of Deaf Resilience & Joy!
EMDR
Hi, my name is Victoria and I’m a therapist who helps people heal from trauma and emotional pain using a special therapy called EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing.
You might be wondering:What is EMDR? And how can it help me?
Let me explain.
When something bad happens, your brain can get “stuck” on that memory. You might feel like you’re reliving the event, even when it’s in the past. EMDR helps your brain “unstick” the memory so you can feel calmer and more in control.
Now, here’s something important:EMDR works for both single events and multiple events.
If you’ve had a single event—like a car accident, a sudden loss, or a scary experience—EMDR can help your brain reprocess that memory.
If you’ve been through multiple events—like ongoing stress, childhood trauma, or repeated challenges—EMDR can address those, too.
You see, your brain is powerful, but when you experience trauma, your brain’s natural way of processing information can get overwhelmed.
It’s like a tangled knot of emotions and memories. EMDR helps your brain untangle those knots, one by one, or all together. This is why it’s so effective for both single incidents and long-term patterns.
In therapy, we use tools like side-to-side eye movements, gentle tapping, to help your brain process the memories, use what suits you.
With EMDR, you don’t have to talk about every painful detail of what happened. Instead, we work together to help your brain process the feelings and let go of the pain.
The results? Many people say they feel calmer, sleep better, and feel free from the weight of the past.
If you’re struggling with the effects of a single event or the stress of many events, EMDR can help you heal.
If you’re curious about EMDR or have questions, feel free to send me a message at Deaf4Deaf.
