 Understanding Trauma     

Trauma isn’t always what people expect. It’s not just about catastrophic events - it can also come from ongoing stress, difficult relationships, or experiences that left you feeling powerless.

Common trauma symptoms include:

• Flashbacks or intrusive memories
• Avoiding places or situations that trigger distress
• Feeling anxious, on edge, or “always alert”
• Emotional numbness or disconnect from loved ones
• Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe

If this resonates with you, trauma therapy can provide relief and healing.

  What is EMDR Therapy?  

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful approach designed to help people heal from traumatic memories. Instead of just talking about what happened, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help the brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their intensity.

EMDR therapy can be especially effective for:

• Survivors of abuse or neglect
• Birth trauma and medical trauma
• Anxiety, panic, or phobias linked to past experiences
• First responders and those in high-stress professions

Research shows that EMDR can often bring faster relief than traditional talk therapy by directly targeting how trauma is stored in the brain.

 Our Approach to Trauma Counseling  

At Rooted Healing, we combine EMDR with other approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and attachment-based therapy. We move at your pace, always prioritizing safety and trust.

Our trauma-informed care ensures that you:

• Have control over the process
• Never have to share details you’re not ready to
• Receive tools to regulate your nervous system before diving into deeper work
• Feel supported every step of the way

 What to Expect in Sessions   

In your first sessions, we’ll build a foundation of safety and coping skills. Once you feel ready, EMDR sessions may involve:

• Identifying target memories that feel “stuck”
• Using bilateral stimulation to process those memories
• Replacing old patterns of fear with new beliefs of safety and strength

Through trauma counseling, clients often report that the memories remain - but the pain, fear, or shame attached to them fades.

 Benefits of EMDR & Trauma Therapy 

With consistent therapy, you may experience:

• Relief from intrusive memories and flashbacks
• Feeling calmer and more in control of your body
• Rebuilding trust and connection in relationships
• Increased confidence and hope for the future
• Freedom from old patterns that kept you stuck
