PTSD Therapy
Welcome to Erin Walton's Wise Hearts Therapy: Working with Trauma and PTSD.
Are you continuously battling the ghosts of traumatic past events, finding yourself in the grasp of persistent anxiety, nightmares, or an exaggerated startle response? Perhaps you've already attempted conventional talk therapy, but it only offered fleeting comfort or failed to provide the relief you desperately sought. It may be time for a different approach. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, was specifically designed to work with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Visualize your mind as a vast library, where each memory is a book. In an ideal scenario, these books are neatly organized on the shelves. However, the turmoil caused by traumatic experiences can leave some books strewn haphazardly on the floor. As you navigate your mental library, you might trip over these disordered books, unearthing distressing memories and provoking intense feelings. This can give rise to distressing symptoms such as emotional dysregulation, overwhelm, flashbacks, re-experiencing the trauma, avoidance, panic, and generally negative distressing changes in thoughts and mood.
EMDR therapy allows your metaphorical librarian to go to work, reordering the chaos. Using a unique combination of guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation and dual attention, EMDR aids in reprocessing traumatic memories, thereby reducing their influence and enabling you to establish improved mental and emotional wellbeing.
At Wise Hearts Therapy, my focus is to provide EMDR therapy to clients courageously confronting PTSD symptoms. I am committed to helping you find solace from the turmoil these scattered 'books' of memory are causing, allowing your body and mind to sort these books to their shelves.
If you're interested in understanding more about EMDR and its effectiveness in treating PTSD, I recommend visiting the EMDRIA website for comprehensive insights. However, for a more personalized discussion, I am just a phone call away. I take great pleasure in discussing EMDR and the profound impact it can have on your life.
