WHAT IS EDMR?
We all want to feel peace and connection, but living with childhood trauma can affect your life, your self-esteem and your relationships in so many destructive ways. Even when trying our hardest, we can find ourselves stuck in the past, constantly worried about the future, or reliving traumatic events we wish would just go away. The good news is, there are new innovative treatments that even the Veterans’ Administration condone for war ravaged veterans. And Karla Bilderbeck can offer this brief effective treatment for relief from this stress and pain. By using the cutting-edge eye-movement therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (or EMDR). we can quickly process childhood trauma and anxiety in just a few sessions. Using eye movements, like reenacting the rapid eye movements (REM’s) of the dream state, you recall the trauma without having to talk about it, and the eye movements can be used to calm reactive symptoms during the process. In EMDR, the eye movements are used to help you process disturbing past memories, and to more quickly change the effects of these memories. During the relaxing of the eye movements your mind stays grounded in the present, and the process is soothing so that your anxiety is quickly relieved. The next time, you would be guided to create new images that create pleasant feelings, and although you remember what happened, the created memory has built new neural pathways and connections, and held together, they alleviate the distress and the triggering is eliminated. As the problem trauma loses its hold on the neural pathways of your mind, you will feel relief.
Using these simple and calming eye movements to create new healthy pathways in the brain, you can stop overreacting to stress or ruminating on the past.
If you suffer from childhood trauma, you can now live with a renewed sense of peace and joy. Research indicates that this process is creating lasting change and freeing people from past trauma.
You may not believe that healing your anxiety or PTSD without months of therapy could be possible, but this evidence-based treatment could relieve the hold your past trauma has had on you until now. Please call 407-875-5704 to set up your first appointment and to address any questions/concerns you may have about trauma treatment.
