Trauma can develop from a one-time incident or a lifetime of ongoing experiences (throughout childhood). Those who have been exposed to a traumatic event or series of events may experience intrusive thoughts/memories, nightmares or disturbing dreams, becoming irritable or angry when startled or challenged, shutting down, memory issues or they may find themselves avoiding reminders of the event. Survivors of such trauma may describe it as feeling unmotivated or an inability to feel pleasure in anything, even those things they previously enjoyed. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is designed to help those individuals move from that triggered state into a state of peace, and it gives their brain the opportunity to process the experience in a productive manner.

Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are your life and relationships unfulfilling? Can't let go of past hurts? Using sex or the internet to avoid others or painful emotions? Nothing gets better no matter what you try? Maybe it's time for a change!

Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
