Take a deep breath, bring your pet, and experience transformation in your life
Going to a physical office is not always an option. Thedentist, physician, pharmacy can become a chore because of scheduling ortraffic. But modern technology allows therapyto reach further and help more. Any device with a web connection can be aportal to mental wellbeing. Therapy can be more than the psychological breakthat you require. It can be a pause, right where you are, in an overfull time. Onlinetherapy can be a great way to access counseling with the ease, convenience, andcomfort of your space: coffee, pets, and all.
As a specialist in trauma therapy and a certified EMDR practitioner,I have been helping people through online therapy on their schedule. If youhave faced trauma or episodic distress, Eye Movement Desensitization andReprocessing (EMDR) focuses on mitigating those traumatic memories to limit physiologicaltriggers and any lingering negative emotions. EMDR reconfigures the way thatyour brain processes information, desensitizing maladaptive and traumaticmemories from their strong negative emotions and the accompanying hypervigilance.It is like an emotional detoxification for memory.
The science of sleep shows that bilateral stimulation iscreated between the two hemispheres of our brain when you enter REM (rapid eyemovement) sleep every night. To facilitate this same bilateral stimulation forthe purpose of reprocessing, online therapists teach clients to create BLSthrough alternate tapping, eye movements, butterfly hug tapping, and a host ofcreative methodologies that mirrors what stimulates your brain. In a typicalin-office session, therapists use handheld buzzers and eye movement machines ortheir own hands to stimulate this rapid eye movement. But with theproliferation of technology, this process can be done more conveniently online.If you feel like EMDR therapy can be a good fit for you, you can find an EMDRcertified practitioner in your state at EMDRIA.org.
