“Wherever you go,there you are “. Has to be one of my favorite quotes.
Grew up in Hawaii. Been to a few different countries, lived and visited different states. Whether I was at the Great Wall of China or the busy city of New York or the quiet island of Maui there’s one thing that didn’t change it was living inside myself. I am a new creation and my constant process of healing and to become more whole is a process. For me in my life,anyways.
Professionally, I’ve been to quite a few therapy trainings. Esp dealing with trauma. Trauma has changed in its definition over time and many people are recognizing it not only as a life or death experience but as an experience,interaction or repeated moments of pain,distress or emotional hurt. What we know through Emdr treatment is that trauma gets stored in the nervous system -body -thoughts -feelings and memory at the time it was experienced. Many times unless we become aware of what that is - name it and reprocess it will stay lodged in our nervous system and often will come out in many different ways. Emdr is a great tool to help decrease those reactions and provide a different experience in one’s system so that it doesn’t rule over take you.
Emdr is not the only way to heal. But it is a powerful way that has been back up with more than 20 yrs of research.
