EMDR Therapy That Doesn't Make You Relive It
You’re Afraid What Happened to You Is Now Defining You
Nightmares, flashbacks, tense muscles, sweaty palms, clenched jaw.
You can’t seem to escape the constant feeling that danger is near.
You always sit facing the door.
You never fully speak your truth to friends or family for fear that they will not understand, not believe, or worse, pity you.
You’ve Tried Therapy Before and It Just Didn’t Work
No matter how much you “talk it out,” it doesn’t seem to help.
You actually feel worse when you leave the session.
Your nightmares and flashbacks are doubling after therapy.
Wasn’t this supposed to help?
Yes, It’s Supposed to Ease Your Pain, Not Create More
Unfortunately, many times a therapist’s best intentions do not treat resistant trauma. Sometimes emotional flooding can make everything feel worse.
When you come in for a session, I promise not to retraumatize you by talking through your deepest, darkest memories again and again.
Together, we will approach this with delicate care in a space where you feel supported and cared for, not misunderstood or pitied.
I will use the latest, research-backed techniques that will ease your trauma symptoms without you having to revisit every aspect of the trauma.
Flash EMDR Doesn’t Put You Back Inside the Memory
The technique I use most for this is Flash EMDR.
It’s a gentler form of EMDR that lets your brain process a memory without putting you back inside it.
Talk to Someone Who Won’t Pity You
I work online with clients across California, Oregon, and Idaho.
If therapy has left you feeling worse than when you walked in, let’s talk.
Texting is best. Reach me at (208) 435-8760 and we’ll set up a free 20-minute consultation.
Let’s Find Out if I’m Your Person
You want this to stop hurting, and you want it to stop soon. That’s fair, and it’s a good reason to pick up the phone.
There’s a version of your life where you say the true thing on the first try, the door stays open, and your voice comes back without an apology attached to it.
We’ll find out together whether I’m the right person for this.
