Who is EMDR for?
A hell of a lot more people than you probably think.
I've been using EMDR with clients since 2015, and I've experienced it from the other side of the chair as a client myself.
So when I tell you I believe in this work, I mean it.
Most people associate EMDR with trauma. And yes, it's an incredibly effective, evidence-based treatment for PTSD. But its applications extend beyond that.
One of the things we address in EMDR is negative beliefs about ourselves.
"I'm not good enough."
"I don't matter."
"I'm powerless."
"I'm not safe."
Think about that for a minute.
If you believe you're not good enough, how does that influence the relationships you choose, the opportunities you pursue, the boundaries you set, or the things you're willing to tolerate?
Our beliefs influence how we see ourselves and how we move through the world.
I've watched clients make profound changes in their lives through this work. Changing careers. Moving across the country. Leaving relationships. Making decisions they previously couldn't imagine making.
Not because EMDR told them what to do.
But because their perception of themselves shifted and with that came the ability to make different choices.
We're not just addressing what happened to you. We're exploring what those experiences led you to believe about yourself.
And when you fundamentally change the way you see yourself, you open the door to changing the way you live.
That's why I believe so strongly in the power of EMDR.
