Everyone has experienced some form of emotional hurt/pain. These events often are stored in our brain with specific emotions, body sensations, and thoughts about ourselves or the world. We carry these belief systems into the way we interact with others and the way we show up for ourselves. We often hold a lot of shame and believe things such as “I’m not good enough” or “There is something wrong with me” or even “It is my fault”. We default to these beliefs even if there is no evidence that they are true. These beliefs stop us from reaching our full potential and experiencing true happiness.

It can be scary to revisit and bring up the pain of the past. Before we process I focus on building connection, trust, and safety to ensure you are ready to begin the processing. EMDR is one of many ways in which we can help deal with these negative beliefs we hold. EMDR not only processes the negative belief/event but it instills a positive belief. EMDR ensures both our body and mind are ready to let go of the negative belief and move forward with confidence. Don’t let the past control your interactions in the present. Take back your power and start your healing journey.
