Trauma responses & beliefs can FEEL permanent when you have the coping skills but LACK the ability to access them. What you need is a more somatic approach to healing memory networks w/ more desirable response patterns learned from what's past, to reflexively improve responses in similar future instances. EMDR does wonders for issues w/ control, self-worth, attachment, identity, performance, and/or hypersensitivity. We’ll demystify how EMDR works as a domino healing effect, prepare you for what to expect, AND give you a taste of its efficiency. If the goal is therapy that works to become PRN, I'm the EMDR Therapist for you.
Hi friends! I'm Carolyn, a biracial Certified EMDR Therapist in Richmond, VA who specializes in recent, ongoing, and preventative EMDR protocols for somatic-based healing & sustainable symptom relief from anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, burnout, hypersensitivity, relationship drama & ALL traumas. Oh! And I'm also trauma-bonded to Golden Retrievers...
Getting established in Therapy is GREAT. But, consistent LT therapy is a thing of the past. I believe therapy doesn’t need to be for life, rather spurts of it. When & if new experiences leave us feeling overwhelmed and possibly trapped in memory networks of traumatic details- from WHENever, that got triggered by WHATever- I'm your therapist on speed dial.
