EMDR Therapy Explained: How Trauma Gets Stuck (And How We Heal It) | Tina Foley

Описание: Stuck in anxiety, trauma, or painful patterns you can't seem to let go?

There's a reason why some memories feel like they're still happening - even years later. Your brain didn't get the chance to fully process them.

What Is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that helps your brain process difficult or overwhelming experiences so they no longer feel as intense, distressing, or present-day.
When something traumatic happens, the memory can become frozen—showing up later as anxiety, panic, shame, negative beliefs, or emotional reactions that feel much bigger than the situation in front of you.

How EMDR Works:
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (left-to-right eye movements, tapping, or sounds) while you briefly bring a memory to mind.
This mirrors what happens naturally during REM sleep, when both brain hemispheres are active and processing experiences from the day. During sleep, memories are integrated, stored, and emotionally digested in a way that feels less overwhelming.
In EMDR, this same process happens while you're awake, supported, and in control.
The brain does what it's naturally designed to do: heal.

What Clients Notice During EMDR:
We don't just talk about what happened - we notice how the body feels and where trauma is being held. We work with body and mind together.
As the brain reprocesses the memory:
✓ The emotional charge softens
✓ The memory feels more distant or neutral
✓ It becomes something that happened, not something still happening

Many clients describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded - physically and emotionally - sometimes in ways they didn't think were possible.

Who EMDR Helps:
• Trauma & PTSD
• Anxiety & panic
• Depression
• Childhood & attachment wounds
• Self-esteem & identity issues
• Relationship difficulties
• Eating disorders & body image concerns
• Loss & bereavement

Many of Tina's clients have tried other therapies but still felt stuck. They were looking for something deeper, yet practical and grounded.

You simply have a nervous system that learned to protect you—but now it's triggering you.
