My ideal client might be afraid to begin with. They may think I will tell them they are crazy, or look at them in shock for what they tell me. When I reassure them their trauma has taken a toll, but they are not crazy, and I can help them, they will relax. They will learn to trust me and open up. By opening up about their lives and what they have been through and working through their trauma, they will come out on the other side realizing they no longer need to experience the pain, and can experience the joy they always strived for.
Trauma has found its way into the lives of so many people in our community today. It breaks my heart to know people continue to suffer. I have been practicing EMDR for many years, and recently completed EFIT training (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy). I also have taken Attachment-Focused EMDR and enjoy incorporating that into my practice as well.
I understand how difficult it is to make that first call. You may think you are alone. You may think nobody can help you or understand. You may even think that you are losing it. I get it. I see that first call as one of courage and strength. You just made a decision to change and start a new life. Welcome.
