Have you noticed yourself having a hard time managing overwhelming emotions, and/or feeling anxious, distracted, irritable, and/or unable to finish certain tasks? When thinking about a distressing event, does it feel as if you're experiencing it for the first time? These symptoms are typical after experiencing a traumatic event, as your brain works to protect itself. As you know, these symptoms can interfere with your life in a very big way, oftentimes presenting as unpleasant sensations, feelings, and images. Together we can cross the bridge to a more hopeful future. I treat first responders, teenagers, and/or trauma survivors.
I treat those who have experienced trauma, including First Responders, using Accelerated Resolution Therapy. ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. This is a short-term therapy, often reducing symptoms in 1-6 sessions.
You deserve a life free of intrusive sensations, feelings, and images. Together we will work to re-process your trauma while allowing you the control to say as much or as little as you like. In fact, you do not even need to speak your trauma out loud in order to heal from it. Contact me for a free phone consultation to learn more and schedule our intake!
