HEALING FOR A BETTER LIFE
Hi, I'm Weeda Nawabi. I am a trauma therapy specialist. If you've found yourself here, it's likely because you're carrying a weight that feels too heavy to bear alone. You might be feeling trapped in a cycle of memories or emotions that seem to control your life.
Perhaps you're one of the many who've faced moments that have left you feeling lost, anxious, or disconnected from the world around you. It's not uncommon; in fact, 70% of adults experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime, and for some, these moments become shadows that color every day. This can lead to feelings of constant worry, fear, or even numbness, making it seem like true relief is just out of reach.
LOOK TO THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a highly effective therapy for healing from trauma. Imagine your mind like a library where memories are stored. Sometimes, traumatic experiences get stuck and aren’t filed away properly. They can pop up unexpectedly and cause you high emotions like feeling detached, numb and confused.
EMDR therapy helps by guiding your brain to reprocess these memories the right way. I guide you through gentle eye movements that helps you safely revisit these traumatic memories and change the emotional response associated with them.
It’s a bit like reorganizing that library, so everything is in its right place, helping you feel more at peace. Many find EMDR particularly helpful because it focuses more on these emotional processes and less on talking things out, making your healing journey feel more manageable and less overwhelming.
LOOK TO THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE
Research has really shown how well EMDR therapy works for PTSD. Over thirty studies have seen good results with it.
For example, some of these studies found that after just three sessions of EMDR, each lasting ninety minutes,
about 84-90% of people who went through a single traumatic event no longer had PTSD symptoms. It’s quite promising how effective this therapy can be in such a short time.
