Are you an intelligent, driven, passionate person who is living a double life? You appear unflappable and levelheaded, but inside, you feel anxious, exhausted, and unsatisfied. These feelings are confusing because you have many of the things you wanted. You’ve had success in your personal life, your career, or as a parent, but everything feels SO HARD. You might also be wondering if there’s something wrong with you. Or maybe it makes total sense that you’d feel this way. Some events from your past are emerging. You suspect trauma and emotional wounds are at the root. But you don’t know how to deal with it. You want to feel better now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e17b631bf18912247d89382/1611014364031-D2WL7H2CJTAM6KT41E7B/image.jpg Home - How it’s Done Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy that rebuilds healthy wiring in the brain. It rests on the assumption that your brain is “stuck in trauma time.” EMDR is like telling your brain that it’s okay now, that you’re safe. You’ll learn how to regulate emotions and release trauma from the body. As a result, positive internal belief systems are strengthened, opening you up to a wide variety of new positive experiences in life.

You avoid activities, places, and people that trigger you. Your negative thoughts about yourself, other people, or the world have you feeling hopeless and pessimistic. You feel distant from family and friends. You have difficulty experiencing positive emotions, or you feel numb and detached from your body. You have nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive, recurrent memories of life events. You experience health issues or chronic pain. You are easily startled, frightened, or you’re “on-guard,” looking for danger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e17b631bf18912247d89382/1611527528010-P5JUA23BV0C15F65ALXW/image.jpg About - Or this? You have trouble sleeping, concentrating, or staying organized. Spiraling thoughts are out of control; it’s like your mind is turning every snowflake into a snowstorm. You feel keyed up, restless, worried, or have panic attacks. Depression, stress, disappointment, guilt, shame, and anxiety dominate your life. You’re turning to alcohol, drugs, or other addictive behaviors to numb and escape. You are exhausted from the mental and emotional energy you expend on small incidents or issues. You feel like you have nothing left to give your family, friends, career, or yourself. Regardless of your diagnosis or symptoms, everyone deserves peace of mind. https://anitameyertherapy.com/emdr-therapy daily 0.75 2025-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e17b631bf18912247d89382/1655596876738-6GZ3TOF43W4SWDQI0SGL/unsplash-image-MgEkH5Xeqo0.jpg EMDR Intensives - Why an Intensive instead of weekly 45-minute therapy sessions? The standard weekly therapy model is based on insurance mandates for all therapeutic services, not for EMDR effectiveness. In fact, when EMDR was first originated, two-hour sessions were the expected standard. EMDR Intensives allow the opportunity to progress through your symptoms in a more succinct and focused way without the interruption of regular weekly sessions. An intensive format may decrease overall treatment time because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that you won’t need after healing, or d) assisting you in regaining composure at the end of each session. EMDR Intensives can accelerate your treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e17b631bf18912247d89382/1655596919289-PTA537GIX09PM8WSYQQZ/unsplash-image-HlJ7U9WHRR8.jpg EMDR Intensives - What can I expect to accomplish in an Intensive? An Intensive offers a multitude of resources and can help to either increase performance and confidence, or significantly decrease the devastating effects of single event trauma (e.g., negative cognitions, disturbing emotions, and body sensations). Depending on unique factors of the client and the length of Intensive time chosen, it is possible to significantly reduce the distress of one or more traumatic events during an Intensive. While significant healing can occur in an Intensive, Complex PTSD deserves more treatment than just one Intensive. Many clients experiencing Complex PTSD may continue to work on their trauma histories through monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly Intensives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e17b631bf18912247d89382/1678295144339-531B7RTH8IGEHXZGIVB3/unsplash-image-RLLR0oRz16Y.jpg EMDR Intensives - What do EMDR Intensives include?
