EMDR For Trauma, Abuse, Fears, Childhood Deprivation
EMDR (Eye -Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a comprehensive psychotherapy approach that alleviates the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and emotional problems related to developmental trauma and non-secure attachment. EMDR is successful in treating following conditions: complicated grief, disturbing memories, phobias, pain disorders, performance anxiety, stress reduction, addictions, sexual and/or physical abuse, body dysmorphic disorders.
When a traumatic or distressing experience occurs, it may overwhelm normal cognitive and neurological coping mechanisms. The goal of EMDR therapy is to process these distressing memories, reducing their lingering effects and allowing clients to develop more adaptive coping mechanisms. This is done in an eight-step protocol that includes having clients recall distressing images while receiving one of several types of bilateral sensory input, including side to side eye movements.
EMDR is a powerful approach that brings deep and lasting integration and health to those who are ready to address their adverse past experiences so they can live more happily in the present.
Individual Therapy And/Or Coaching For Relationship Difficulties
Helping clients to understand their attachment style , working model of self and others that stands in the way of healthy and fulfilling relationships. The goal is to facilitate cognitive and emotional shifts toward positive self-assessment “I am good enough” and more secure attachment model “Relationships are safe. I can give and receive care and comfort”.
Treatment For Narcissistic Abuse
There is a lot of healing required for people who were parented by narcissistic parents or have been repeatedly involved in relationships with narcissistic individuals. People with narcissistic traits are known for targeting intelligent, self-sufficient, empathic individuals as partners. They tend to lack core identity and need narcissistic supply to fill their empty psyches. I am helping clients to heal broken bonds, adopt “no contact policy”, and most importantly to re-invent the sense of self and self-love.
