EMDR Therapy in Manhattan, NY
You Can Be in Control Again. You Just Need the Right Tools.
You find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious. A past memory or trauma has you feeling like you're reliving it over and over again. Your attention span? Gone. Your ability to relax? A thing of the past. You find yourself struggling with relationships, work, and daily tasks because your emotional well-being has taken a backseat. Instead, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and nightmares are consuming your every waking moment. The control you once had over your life seems to be slipping away.
Maybe you've been to therapy before. You may have tried different techniques and coping mechanisms, but nothing seems to be working. The anxiety you have surrounding your trauma is still there. So, you may be wondering, "What else can I do? How can I regain control of my life?" You’ve read books, practiced mindfulness, and followed advice from well-meaning friends, but the relief is temporary. And the underlying pain persists. The constant battle with your thoughts leaves you feeling exhausted and defeated. But you don't have the time to wait it out. You want to live life to the fullest. You want to be able to enjoy relationships, work, and hobbies without the weight of past trauma holding you back.
You Just Want to Live, Not Simply Survive
You feel as if you are constantly in survival mode. Your brain is stuck in a cycle of fight, flight, fawn, or freeze. When someone drops a dish at your morning coffee run, you are startled and immediately on edge. When a coworker approaches you without warning, your heart pounds out of your chest. You may even feel like you are back in the moment of your trauma, reliving it all over again. It's hindering your ability to function and thrive in everyday life.
Perhaps the thought of socializing with new people makes you want to hide under the covers. Yet, your job requires you to network and build relationships with clients. The motivation you have to be the best is now clashing with your anxiety, and you feel like you're failing. You want to be able to have control over your emotions and reactions so that you can build the life you desire. Because this isn't living. This is just surviving.

What is EMDR Therapy?
Yes, eye movements are one aspect, a significant one, of EMDR but it also incorporates other bilateral stimulation techniques. These can include hand tapping or auditory tones. In an EMDR therapy session, you'll focus on a specific memory while your therapist leads you through different sets of bilateral stimulation. This process helps your brain reprocess the trauma in a way that makes it easier to cope with. It essentially helps your brain "digest" the trauma so you can create a new storyline which in turn can allow you to better navigate the emotions you experience. Imagine having a splinter in your foot that has healed over. EMDR would be like removing the sharpness or discomfort of that splinter. It doesn't change the fact that it happened, but it makes it easier to walk and continue on.
What are Signs and Symptoms That EMDR Therapy Can Help With?
EMDR therapy isn't just for past traumas. If anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues are keeping you from living your best life, EMDR could be the answer. It helps reprocess disturbing memories to reduce their impact. Common signs and symptoms include:
● Intrusive thoughts about past traumatic events
● Flashbacks or nightmares related to the trauma
● Anxiety or panic attacks triggered by reminders of the trauma
● Difficulty focusing or concentrating due to racing thoughts
● Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from others
● Low self-esteem and negative self-talk
● Avoidance of people, places, or activities that remind you of the trauma
● Irritability or anger outbursts, often without a clear trigger
These are just some of the signs and symptoms that EMDR therapy in Manhattan can help with. You're the expert of your own experience and know how it's affecting your daily life. Seeking support from an EMDR therapist can help you regain control of your emotions and reactions. So you're no longer just surviving but truly living again.
