You’ve been carrying the weight of what happened for too long. No matter how much you’ve tried to bury the pain, it keeps resurfacing. You find yourself asking, “Who am I kidding?” Even though you’ve kept up with your responsibilities, inside you feel worn down. Your mood swings catch you off guard, and small comments can leave you defensive or irritable.

You question if it’s really as bad as it seems or if you’re just overreacting. Maybe another self-care routine, a new podcast, or a better planner will help? But nothing sticks. Your sleep is restless, your thoughts are overwhelming yet foggy, and you’re exhausted. It’s time to find real relief—to feel like yourself again: confident, calm, and in control.

The pain might be rooted in the past, but it doesn’t always feel that way. Everyday moments can bring it all rushing back. A partner’s touch, loud kids, or even a slammed door makes you jump, heart racing, as if it’s happening all over again. You feel reactive and raw, wishing you could just calm down.

You’re someone who gives so much compassion to others. If a friend came to you with this pain, you’d remind them it’s okay to seek help. You might even suggest therapy. But for some reason, it’s been harder to give yourself that same grace. Now you’re ready. You don’t want to wait any longer. You’re ready for deeper healing than what a self-help book can offer.

Relationships: Loss of a loved one, parent-child challenges
Safety: Physical or sexual abuse, assault
Chronic Stress: Workplace burnout, illness
Singular Traumas: Car accidents, natural disasters
And so much more…

In an EMDR therapy session, your therapist will gently guide you to activate your natural healing processes. Together, you’ll work to resolve the emotional and physical toll of past events and help your mind, body, and heart move forward.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is well-known for its ability to help people work through trauma and PTSD. EMDR therapy can also help a wide range of issues including addiction, depression and anxiety, to grief and loss, miscarriage and so much more.

During EMDR therapy sessions at our Southern Utah office, we explain to clients that EMDR is different in a few ways. When you arrive for your weekly therapy session you will talk with your therapist about the kind of stress you are having: feeling unlovable, worthless, stuck, anxious or unsafe, as an example. Then your therapist will help you practice specific EMDR interventions and techniques such as gentle eye movements and reflecting on your emotions and body sensations.

EMDR therapy eye movements help to regulate the nervous system and activate the memory networks in your brain. In this way, as you are talking to your therapist and experiencing emotions or tension in your body, you’ll be practicing gentle eye movements that help you to move through any stress or upset feelings.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What Does EMDR Therapy Do?” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

EMDR therapy is a type of therapy that happens during one-on-one therapy sessions. EMDR therapy helps to regulate your nervous system and assists your brain, heart and body in making positive connections. These positive connections help you recover from difficult events and situations.

For example, a woman who has lived with guilt and shame related to childhood sexual abuse may more deeply and completely realize that it wasn’t her fault and she is safe in her sexual relationships now. Another client experiencing low self-esteem may finally understand (at a gut level) that her worth is not attached to her work, relationships status, fertility, etc. EMDR therapy helps people find peace and confidence in moving forward.

At Guided Wellness Counseling we are passionate about therapy for your mental and emotional health. The beauty of therapy is that your healing is happening in the context of a safe, respectful relationship. This starts by reaching out to our office for a complimentary phone consultation. Once you are matched with a therapist you’ll attend your first appointment – congratulations! This will be a history taking where you and your therapist will explore any factors that may be affecting your mental health, mood, relationships and ability to cope.

When you begin EMDR you and your therapist will identify a “target” – something specific that you can focus on in your future sessions. This kind of focus allows for deep, meaningful results. Going forward you’ll be supported in deep reflection on your thoughts / memories, feelings and body sensations as you work towards your goals.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Should I Start EMDR Therapy?” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

At Guided Wellness Counseling we believe that everyone is deserving of a fulfilling and adventurous life. And we know that it’s nearly impossible to have (and enjoy!) this kind of life when you are overwhelmed with stress, irritability or past events that follow you day-to-day.

Starting therapy is a personal decision that everyone arrives at for different reasons. Perhaps you have realized that all of your self-care and dedication to self-improvement has plateaued. Or maybe you’re overwhelmed with exhaustion and simply know, something has to change. You don’t have to be at “rock bottom” to begin therapy. These reasons are enough. And together, you and your therapist will decide if EMDR therapy will be the most effective path forward for you.

Feeling keyed up and on edge

EMDR therapy works differently for everyone. Clients with a single, negative event (like a car accident) may be done with EMDR in a matter of weeks. Clients with long, complex histories of trauma will need more. Planning for 8-12 weeks of EMDR therapy is a good starting point. As you work with your Guided Wellness Counseling therapist you’ll explore what you want to work on, time or financial constraints and what type of results you desire.

It’s like this change is happening in my bones.
This feels really, really good.
I can breathe when I think about what hurt me.
I’m not overwhelmed any more.

When you make an appointment for EMDR therapy it will start like any other therapy session. You’ll come into the office, meet your therapist and begin to explore your struggle, goals and coping skills. After this your therapist will make a plan for moving forward. Your therapist will want to make sure that EMDR is an appropriate fit for you and that you understand what to expect. They will help you pace your growth for the best possible outcome.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What Are The 8 Phases Of EMDR Therapy?” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

This is a great question! There are a total of 8 phases of EMDR therapy. The first of these phases is a history assessment. During this time you’ll work with your therapist to better understand your experience of trauma, anxiety, or whatever your pain-point may be. In the second phase you and your therapist will make sure you have good coping skills to engage in this work; we want you prepared and feeling safe as difficult feelings emerge.

In phase 3 you’ll pick a specific stressful experience that you want to focus on. And in phases 4-6 you’ll be led to use eye movements to work through difficult thoughts, feelings or body sensation. As you do this you’ll find new levels of clarity and strength. Other phases help you reflect on your hard work, results and how you’ll move into the future with your new found clarity and strengths.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I Close My Eyes In EMDR Therapy?” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

Can you close your eyes? Do you have to do eye movements for this to work? It’s true that in EMDR therapy many clients use back-and-forth eye movements to help calm their nervous system and help their memories or pain-points to resolve.

However, you can also use tappers – small, handheld devices that vibrate like a cell phone left and right. When clients use tappers they are able to close their eyes. During your EMDR therapy session you’ll find what is most comfortable and effective for you. At our St. George UT office we have options for either eyes-open and eyes-closed processing.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What Is a Trauma Memory Like?” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

Imagine that your stress is like a Post-It note being stapled to the front of your head. Everywhere you look you’re preoccupied or filtering your day and your relationships through that troubling stressor. It’s difficult to see past it or forget that it’s there. Low self-esteem is following you around. Feeling overwhelmed or insecure is following you around. Maybe reminders of a loss or trauma are following you around.

EMDR therapy helps us reduce the discomfort of whatever is causing you stress. For many clients, it’s as if they remove the post-it note and their brain, heart and body files it back in their mind to the appropriate place. They can finally say, “I remember that I felt unsafe when that happened, but right now I’m doing okay and I don’t need to be afraid.” Others are able to say, “There was a time I felt second-place and like I was ‘too much’… but I know now, on a gut level, I am worthy. I am easy to love.”

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Does EMDR Mimic REM Sleep?” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

It can be helpful to compare EMDR therapy and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. When we achieve really deep REM sleep your eyes begin shifting back and forth behind your eyelids. What’s happening during REM sleep is your brain is organizing memories.

When our eyes move in this way during REM sleep, the brain is trimming and organizing your memories During REM sleep eye movements your memories are being sorted into long term memory, short term memory or being discarded. Similarly, in EMDR therapy, your therapist leads you in gentle eye movements to help organize and make sense of upsetting memories and past events.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can You Perform EMDR Therapy On Yourself?” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

Some people think you can perform EMDR therapy on yourself but they are mistaken. You can perform bilateral movement, such as the EMDR therapy eye movements or other forms of bilateral movement such as tapping on your shoulders. But this is not therapy.

Therapy is a process you enter into with a trained professional. Having a partner in this process is essential to help you get past blocks, negative self talk and the strength to tolerate difficult emotions. In fact, many of the ambitious women who come to therapy at Guided Wellness Counseling have told us that they’ve tried all of the apps, self-help books, podcasts and more. It wasn’t until they got into therapy that they were guided through a process they could not do alone.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What Is The Negative Effect Of EMDR Therapy?” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

As with any form of therapy, you may feel more emotional or unsettled during the course of EMDR therapy. Some clients feel relief from the very first session and experience better sleep, confidence and other positive effects right away.

Other clients are reminded of trauma or insecurities they haven’t needed to think about for some time. They may experience feelings of sadness, fear, or anxiety between sessions. They may have difficulty sleeping or have dreams that are upsetting. You and your therapist will work together to ensure you have coping skills and a plan for self-care to use between your EMDR therapy sessions.

As with any form of therapy, some clients may come to decisions in this process that create healthy, but stressful change in their lives such as choosing to leave an unhealthy relationship, changing jobs or setting healthy boundaries.
