Beyond the Trauma: How Trauma Can Affect Your Mental Health and Wellbeing
Holistic Healing: Combining EMDR Treatment with Trauma-Sensitive Yoga
EMDR Therapy and Yoga have been shown effective in working with a range of mental health conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and more. It’s widely understood that a regular yoga practice offers a range of benefits, both physical and mental. But what about the benefits of including trauma-sensitive yoga with EMDR Therapy? By incorporating the benefits of yoga, individuals may be better able to access and process traumatic memories and emotions, and integrate insights from the EMDR, leading to more effective healing and recovery.
6 Reasons Trauma Therapy Should Include the Body
Most of us are familiar with focusing on our thoughts, emotions and behaviors in therapy, rather than paying attention to our physical states. And yet, I’ve also heard from many individuals experiencing disappointment after engaging in years of talk therapy without achieving the desired changes. You may relate and feel like you’ve tried everything. But think about this for a moment, the mind is not the only factor that contributes to personal growth and transformation. In fact, neglecting the body's role in the therapeutic process can create a barrier to change.
How EMDR Can Help You Get Unstuck and Reclaim Your Life
Are you finding yourself stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors that feel impossible to change? Do you often wake up feeling on edge, unable to shake off feelings of restlessness and anxiety? After experiencing traumatic, overwhelming experiences (including ongoing insecurity in attachment with a primary caregiver in early childhood), it’s common to feel lost, scared and uncertain of the future. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy that has been shown to be highly effective in treating trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
