REPROCESSING THE PAST SO YOU CAN LIVE FULLY IN THE PRESENT

We often think of trauma as one specific, significant event that impacts us in a way that cannot change. It may feel like an invisible wound, a mark, or a sense that we are defective in some way. The reality, however, is that this is wrong on both accounts: trauma is rarely a single event that happened to us, and despite feeling ‘stuck’ or permanently damaged, we can break free from it. We use the most advanced technology, for both in-person and virtual sessions, to foster impactful change.

We can’t change the past. But we can change our reactions to it

Most people think of trauma as something caused by a single, devastating event—but what they don’t realize is that trauma can be ongoing, subtle, and deeply ingrained, shaping the way we think, feel, and function every day.

Trauma isn’t just flashbacks or panic attacks. It can show up in ways people don’t expect, like perfectionism and overachievement—a constant need for control or approval. It can look like people-pleasing and codependency, learned in unsafe environments where saying “no” wasn’t an option. It can make setting boundaries feel impossible, fuel chronic anxiety and hypervigilance, or even cause sudden emotional outbursts that seem to come out of nowhere. Many people don’t realize that struggles with procrastination, brain fog, decision paralysis, or even feeling numb and disconnected can all stem from trauma’s impact on the nervous system and brain function.

That’s why our approach to EMDR goes far beyond traditional PTSD treatment. We integrate EMDR with CBT, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy to not only process trauma itself but also unravel the hidden patterns it creates. By addressing both the past and its lingering effects, we help people break free from these cycles, regain control, and move toward real, lasting change.
