Hi there, let me guess... You are here because you used to be able to cope.
You have faced a lot of things in your life, and have always managed.
But you are now struggling, and you are surprised and feeling shame that you can’t tough this one out.
You have compassion for others who aren’t coping and are always the strong one, the listening ear.
But somehow, you see yourself as different, you are not supposed to fall apart.
And certainly not now.
I’ll work alongside you to help make sense of why you have your symptoms, and why now.
Together we’ll look at events that have happened across your life, to understand how these have shaped and reinforced your coping style and sense of self.
Together, we’ll work to understand the reasons for your symptoms .
I’ll coach you on how to regulate your emotional states, while thinking, feeling, and remembering, to help you take charge of your biology and reduce distress.
More often than not, I’ll bring EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) into your treatment because its so effective
