EMDR / Trauma Therapy For Millennials
Helping You Heal Yourself and Your Relationships
If you feel lonely, anxious, and depressed because of trauma…
You’ve been in therapy before. You understand the what and why behind your anxiety and depression. You even know lots of techniques for self-help. Yet you still feel stuck.
All that insight you gained doesn’t seem to change how panicked you feel. Once your trauma is triggered, you’re sent feeling shut down, overwhelmed, and blocked.
You don’t know how to help yourself anymore…
When your pain and hurt are in motion, it can feel like you have no control over what is happening to you. And that’s a terrifying state.
Your anxiety and depression come in many forms. They can look like anger, stress, procrastination, or perfectionism.
Regardless of how they look, they’re getting in the way of everything you do. Work. School. Life. And relationships.

What other types of therapy can you try now?
As a trauma therapist, I’ve heard this story before. Many millennials who walked through my door have shared this experience.
If you’ve been in talk therapy in the past and have not gotten the results you want, you may want to consider working with an EMDR therapist.
A well-trained EMDR therapist can help you get to the roots of your trauma by using evidence-based techniques to allow your brain to resume its natural healing process.
I believe that EMDR Therapy can help you do the deep work needed to heal so you can feel in control again.

Frequently Asked Questions about EMDR and Trauma Therapy Dallas
-
Of course.
Trauma is your emotional response to a terrible thing that may happen to you or to someone else while you witness it.
When you experience something too intense and upsetting, the processing function of your brain collapses.
Your ability to make sense of “what happened to me” is blocked.
To survive, your brain locks away upsetting images, feelings, and thoughts. But the intense sensations of the trauma are trapped in the body. Yes, your body remembers them.
Naturally your body and mind try to recover from trauma on their own. But they can’t do it successfully when the remnants of the past are still there and left unaddressed.
Your body still remembers the sensations of the trauma. It connects the dots by linking those sensations to the stored upsetting images and emotions in the past.
When a seemingly normal event happens in the present, yet brings up the same or similar sensations that were stored away during the trauma, you may experience “being back in that moment” and unknowingly activate your fight-or-flight response.
Over time, this broken feedback loop affects everything you do. Work. School. Life. And relationships.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapy model for treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
EMDR is different from talk therapy in which the focus is not on learning the ins and outs of the traumatic memory. The goal is to help your brain resume its natural healing process.
By helping you “unlock" the troubling images, feelings, and thoughts in your brain, you can now tell your "fear center" that it’s okay to rest and relax.
Once healed, you still remember what happened to you. But your body and mind have learned to resolve the trauma. You can gain control over your thoughts and feelings as a result.

EMDR Therapy can be used to treat children and adults of all ages.
However, there may be a pre-screening process that EMDR therapists use to determine if EMDR Therapy is a good fit for you and your mental health conditions.
At my practice, I specialize in EMDR and Trauma Counseling for millennials.
I care about your safety. It’s why I am proactive in pre-screening to make sure that you have a positive experience with your trauma work.
