When the Trauma Is Over, But Your Body Still Feels Like It's Happening
Maybe you know you're safe now, but your body doesn't always seem to know that.
Maybe certain places, people, smells, sounds, or situations bring you right back to what happened.
Maybe you're constantly watching for signs that something isn't safe.
Or maybe you've spent a lot of time wondering:
“Why am I still affected by this?”
Experiences like sexual assault and domestic violence can change the way we experience safety, relationships, and even ourselves.
You may notice anxiety, intrusive memories, avoidance, difficulty trusting others, shame or self-blame, or feeling on edge even when there isn't an immediate threat.
EMDR therapy doesn't ask you to simply convince yourself that you're safe now. Instead, EMDR works with memories and experiences that may still feel unresolved, helping your brain process what happened so the past can begin to feel more like the past.
Why EMDR for Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence?
EMDR can help process traumatic memories that continue to feel distressing long after the experience is over. Rather than repeatedly retelling what happened, EMDR works with the memories, beliefs, emotions, and body sensations that may still feel stuck.
Why an EMDR Intensive?
An EMDR intensive gives us longer blocks of focused time to work on specific traumatic experiences without needing to stop because the traditional therapy hour is over.
What Does an Intensive Look Like?
Your intensive is individualized to your history and goals. We’ll use preparation, EMDR reprocessing, breaks, grounding, and integration to move through the work at a pace that feels manageable.
Ready to See if an EMDR Intensive Is Right for You?
You don't have to know exactly what you want to process before reaching out.
We'll start with a consultation to talk about what you're experiencing, what you're hoping to work on, and whether an EMDR intensive feels like the right fit.
