You feel stuck and numb. You're just going through the motions, trying to get through the day, knowing you will wake up the next day just to do the same thing all over again. When you are low, you are low, but very rarely, if ever, do you have any highs. You can’t remember the last time you felt happy and wonder if you have ever felt happy. It feels like carrying the weight of the world every day and you're exhausted. You don’t necessarily want to die, but you struggle with the idea of living as you are now. You just need something to change, a hand to help pull you out of the darkness, or a little hope. That's where I come in.
I am trained in various trauma treatments, including EMDR, that I use to help you process painful experiences that have led to negative beliefs about yourself, such as “I’m not good enough”, “I’m unloveable”, and “I’m broken”. I use traditional talk therapy to build rapport and trust so you feel safe enough to begin your healing.
Taking that first step towards healing can be very scary. I commend you for taking this step. Rest assured you will control the pace of therapy. We will work within your window of tolerance and I will slightly nudge you out of your comfort zone, because that is where growth and healing occur, but you will be empowered to stop or slow the pace as needed.
