Therapy to Foster a
Mind and Body Connection
Memories are not just stored as thoughts and cognitions, but also as beliefs, emotions and body sensations. When you experience something familiar or recall a traumatic or upsetting memory, it can feel like it is still happening. This is where EMDR tends to the mind and body connection.
How do I know EMDR is a fit for me?
- Talk therapy in the past has been ineffective.
- Your mind believes one thing and your body feels another.
- Memories feel “hot” or you are “stuck.”
- You find yourself repeating patterns or responses in your relationships that are not leading to the connection you desire.
- Negative beliefs about yourself, others and the world. “I am not enough.” “I am not safe.” “I am a failure.” “I am bad.”
- You yearn for relationships that have “ease.”
From the client’s perspective, the goal of treatment is often solely the relief from debilitating symptoms. For the practicing clinician who is well-versed in EMDR, however, the ultimate aim is to enhance the client’s ability to love both self and others and to engender a new joy in living, in addition to banishing overt suffering.
