EMDR Therapy in Langley & Surrey, BC
Allow your brain to process trauma in a new way
Mindfully release the past so you can focus on the joys of today
Have you been feeling stuck lately? Like there’s a painful memory that keeps playing on repeat or certain emotions that keep flooding back, their intensity as strong as the very first day you felt them?
Wanting to forget doesn’t always mean it’s easy to forget.
Moving past an unexpected or life-changing experience sometimes requires more than the desire to let it go. If you’ve reacted to trauma with a flight, fight or freeze response, it can cause that event to become “trapped” in your memory. As if no matter how hard you try, you can’t find the peace you need to move forward and alleviate the mental and physical pain you’re experiencing.
That’s where Panorama Wellness comes in.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a way of processing painful and recurring traumatic memories that disrupt your wellbeing. It utilizes specific eye movements when recalling your trauma, which helps your brain process the information in a new way.
This approach to therapy combines grounding tools with a practical understanding of how your past experience is affecting your present life. It focuses on any negative beliefs you have built about yourself or the world as a result of your experience, along with the emotions that come up when you think about it, and the physical reaction your body has.
Together with our therapists, you’ll allow your brain to lower the intensity of your emotional and physical reaction to those memories so you can fully process the situation and heal. Rather than looking back at an event that shook your world with overwhelm, sadness or anger, you’ll finally be able to observe it as something in your past you’ve overcome.
