I help people with painful memories clear their distress

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

It feels like you've tried everything to move on from your past, but you feel stuck.

Relationships feel difficult, but being alone feels difficult too. Memories replay in your head, and the feelings that come with them seem to linger no matter how much you try to change your mind and forget the past.

Friends, TV, doom scrolling, family, work…. they all seem to be a temporary distraction.

You just can’t seem to “get over it”

You might think to yourself…

Why can’t I forget about this?

Was it my fault?

Why am I so triggered?

Is something wrong with me, hasn’t enough time passed?

Will I ever get over this?

Could I have prevented it?

Should I be talking to someone about this?

I’m here to let you know these thoughts and feelings are completely normal, and human to experience.

It’s also normal to try and “fix” how you think and act on your own (or even with support) and still feel trapped in these cycles.

Here’s why -

Although we try to logically think and talk our way through moving on from the past, our body may still be in a trauma response.

Our mind has processed what has happened, but our body has yet to catch the memo.

Memories are not just stored in our brains, but also in our nervous system.

Your body may be in a traumatic response of fight or flight - survival mode.

Subconsciously this has you constantly feeling unsafe, which leads your brain back to the cyclical thoughts you’re trying to get rid of.

This trauma state in your body can explain why you may physically tense up when you are around a specific person, or see/hear something that might be triggering. Your entire mood can shift “randomly.”

The good news is there are science-backed forms of body-based trauma therapy that can help bring your nervous system back into a place of safety.

We all have the power to break free from our own past.

Talk therapy, and body-based trauma treatments such as EMDR, TRE, and ART can and will help you break through cycles you seem to be stuck in over and over again.

You can feel like you again. I know you deserve to.

EMDR

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

During Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) the client brings to mind distressing memories in brief sequential doses while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus, such as tapping or eye movements. This is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories and replace negative beliefs about oneself that developed as a result of the trauma.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Using relaxing eye movements and guided imagery, clients rapidly move their painful and distressing memories in the past. The end result is that traumas and difficult life experiences will no longer trigger strong emotions or physical reactions. Importantly, clients do not even have to talk about their traumas or difficult life experiences with the therapist to achieve recovery.

Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)

A series of gentle exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and physically stored trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system.
