Negative Thought Patterns

We have hundreds of messages and thoughts that run through our head on any given day. But for most of us, we just let them run unchecked in our heads, it’s not until we stop and take stock of them that we even notice they are happening. The truth is, these negative statements we are hearing are directly causing more stress in already stressful situations in our lives. They are causing us to get more easily overwhelmed, to lose sight of what is really going on in specific situations, and attach things to people that they are not actually thinking or feeling about us or the situation. Ultimately, they cause of pain and hurt and affect our relationships in negative ways.

What is EMDR and Can it Help Me?

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence based approach most commonly connected to treating trauma. Traumas like being in a car accident, unexpected or sudden death of loved one, sexual or physical assault, learning your spouse has had an affair or a porn addiction, or getting a divorce. Or for smaller traumas that build on each other like having or adopting a child, working as a nurse or doctor in a children’s hospital, relocating, planning a wedding, being bullied at school, or conflict with significant other or children.
