Do you ever experience having thoughts, images, or memories stuck in your head? Sometimes you may even experience reactions in your body, such as: heart beating fast, pressure in your chest, or a rock in your stomach. Sometimes people even feel like they are going numb. You do not have to live this way, there is a solution. Often, we manage things effectively, but occasionally we experience life events that can be disturbing to our system. Most of the time, our brain can digest the situations we encounter. However, sometimes those skills that have worked in the past are no longer helping.
As we work together, you will learn to use new strategies to feel confident, calm, more at peace, and in control of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You will experience feeling lighter and less tension in your body and have better concentration. You will be more present.
I have several approaches, which are evidence based, to be effective to decrease negative symptoms and increase sense of calm and peacefulness. I use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The relationship between the client and the therapist is the most crucial element.
