Trauma and
EMDR Therapy
Trauma will ravage your nervous system and fragment your sense of self. Experiencing trauma can leave you in a state of reactivity and confusion.
Without trauma therapy, your past traumas can lead to persistent and unpleasant symptoms.
What is “Trauma”?
Trauma is an event or experience outside of you that profoundly impacts your internal experience.
It is important to keep in mind that each lived trauma is unique to the person who experienced it. There is no “one size fits all” framework when addressing issues via trauma therapy.
Experiences of Trauma May Include…
Learn How the Past Affects You in Trauma Therapy
Our first step in starting your trauma journey is learning about your history and garnering awareness of how past experiences show up in your life today.
Renewed Wellness Counseling
Online Trauma Therapy Modalities
Holistic Approach to Trauma Therapy
Every approach we offer at Renewed Wellness Counseling is framed within the truth that wellness is reliant on being attentive to the WHOLE you. This includes the mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual you. We work holistically with you so you can experience the well-being you deserve.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based approach to healing trauma and overwhelming life experiences.
Helps reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel as distressing
Uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) to reduce emotional intensity
Can be used to treat PTSD, anxiety, grief, abuse, and other trauma-related symptoms
Doesn’t require you to talk in detail about the trauma to be effective
Can be done safely and effectively through secure online sessions
Many people experience noticeable relief in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy
Healing is possible. EMDR helps your brain do what it naturally knows how to do – HEAL!
Brainspotting
This effective trauma modality uses your limbic system to heal trauma. The limbic system is comprised of brain structures that play a large part in:
- Your emotions
- Cognition
- Long-term memory
- Motivation
- Impulse control
- And many other psychological factors
When our system has undergone trauma, these brain structures can be maladaptively impacted. Brainspotting focuses on repairing what has been traumatized so equilibrium can return.
Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Facing traumatic memories and uncomfortable recollections can ramp up our nervous system. Your body-mind might look to do anything to avoid the uncomfortable feelings, images, sensations, and memories. Using DBT, you will focus on using both mindfulness and distress tolerance as you work through and process traumatic memories. We also use DBT to help your body respond to somatic manifestations of past trauma.
Trauma is pervasive in our society. Most people have experienced some form of trauma throughout their life. If an experience or event makes life difficult, unbearable, or impacts your present-day relationships in a negative way, we are here to be compassionately present and assist you in your trauma journey.
