THROUGH THE WOODS THERAPY
EMDR Therapy
As we continue our hike together, there may be parts of the trail that feel especially steep or challenging. This is when we confront the trauma that has been holding you back, just like the climb up a mountain. It’s not easy, but with each step, we build strength, resilience, and the skills needed to keep moving forward.
Through EMDR therapy and trauma-informed practices, we’ll address the root of your pain and begin to heal. Just as a hiker may stop and rest during a tough climb, we will take breaks to pause, reflect, and process at your pace, ensuring that you never feel rushed or overwhelmed.

What is EMDR therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It’s especially effective for those who have experienced childhood abuse or domestic violence, as it helps to reframe the way the brain processes traumatic memories.
EMDR works by using bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements or sounds, to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories. This method allows the nervous system to "reorganize" distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge and helping you integrate them in a healthier way. We can do EMDR even on virtual sessions.

Why is EMDR therapy effective for healing from abuse?
Healing from childhood abuse or domestic violence can feel overwhelming. These types of trauma often leave lasting emotional wounds that affect self-worth, relationships, and daily life. EMDR is highly effective for addressing the root causes of these issues because it allows you to process painful memories in a way that reduces their power over you. By reprocessing traumatic memories, EMDR can:
- Reduce symptoms of PTSD like flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbness.
- Heal emotional wounds from abusive relationships and childhood trauma, allowing you to feel less stuck in the past.
- Shift negative beliefs about yourself, such as feelings of shame, guilt, or unworthiness.
- Improve emotional regulation by helping you handle strong feelings without becoming overwhelmed.
- Strengthen relationships by allowing you to build trust and form healthier connections with others.
Whether you’re dealing with the long-term effects of childhood abuse or the trauma from domestic violence, EMDR provides a proven, effective way to help you process, heal, and regain control of your life.

What to expect
EMDR is not about reliving trauma in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s about safely processing memories that have remained unresolved. You will not be forced to relive painful experiences in detail, but rather, we’ll focus on specific memories that are connected to your emotional pain, helping to reduce their grip on you over time.
The sessions are collaborative, and you’ll be an active participant in the healing process. Many people experience rapid relief from emotional distress, with lasting effects that allow them to feel more grounded and empowered in their daily lives.
