✨️ Too often, our clients ask 'is my trauma bad enough, or statements such as 'others have it way worse' ..

Trauma isn't the actual event of what has happened to you, its how your nervous system responds and impacts INSIDE your brain and body.

Long story, short... YES, your trauma is valid and all parts of you are welcome, you are worthy of support ✨️

✨️✨️Trusting the therapy process can feel frustrating when you want to feel better and see positive change fast. ✨️✨️

At Lily Pad, we follow a structured and evidence based approach to trauma focused therapy... which highlights the importance of;

💜 safety
💜 consistency
💜 connection

✨️✨️Trauma healing takes time because the brain is slowly learning that it no longer has to stay in survival mode, and that rewiring the brain and nervous system response is what creates lasting change.

✨️EMDR is an evidence based, effective, specialist trauma therapy. ✨️

The idea is not to 'erase' memories, but to help the brain reprocess bodily sensations that remain emotionally stuck or physiologically activating.

EMDR can help

💚 PTSD
💚 Childhood Trauma
💚 Complex Trauma
💚 Chronic Illness
💚 Phobias and intense fears

You're not broken, change is possible and holding onto glimmers of hope will help you take each day at a time 🧡

You matter and you're important 💚

✨️Boundaries are super important for the safety and regulation of your nervous system.

What you allow shapes whether your body feels safe or stays in survival mode. ✨️
