Flashbacks. Always being on alert. Panicked.
Not sleeping, yet exhaustion.
You can’t get what happened out of your mind. No matter how much time has passed it just keeps haunting you.
It feels like it is a horror movie on repeat. Almost as if your brain is working against your efforts to forget it and let go.
It can feel exhausting to live like this day after day and feel at war with your own brain yet you can’t sleep because as soon as you try, the movie starts again, only louder.
Do you ever wonder…
You didn’t choose this, so why is it causing so much destruction?
Why can’t I just forget about it and move on?
What is wrong with me?
It may be threatening your relationships and your job because you can’t concentrate on anything else or you ‘get angry for no reason’. You’re also exhausted and ‘just not yourself’.
It feels like you’ve tried everything to forget it, but nothing is working.
Change is possible. Healing is possible.
Taking your own brain and life back is possible.
Often, when people experience traumatic events it will rewire your brain to think that it will happen again, or that it happened because of something we did wrong.
These distortions can create a constant state of survival which sends our neurological system into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
These help us survive during trauma but is really hard for your brain to turn off even when the trauma stops. And technically, the trauma often is recurring because the “movie reel” of images keeps our brain thinking we’re not safe.
The Path To Healing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment that will rewire your brain and help it process the trauma.
This allows you to feel comfortable and safe in day to day situations.
We have the map to help you alleviate the symptoms of traumatic injuries and feel joy again, and now it’s just a matter of being guided down it.
The end result?
You can actually get sleep and turn off the movie reel which fosters more healing. You won't feel so angry all of the time or as if you’re just getting through the day. You can live with clarity and confidence.
If you are ready to take your life back, we am here to help you.
Reaching out is a difficult step but the first step toward healing.
