Lisa came back to me after her first EMDR session and told me that the first thing she noticed when getting into her car was that she had not realized how much tension she had been holding her body when in her car. She reported no longer feeling anxious when driving and the fear that had been creeping up in other areas was no longer there.
Do you find yourself reacting to traumatic events from the past? You might have done talk therapy or have talked to others about what occurred… but for some reason you find yourself feeling fearful about situations that remind you of that event. These triggers could be a noise, something you see, or a familiar situation. You find yourself reacting and feel out of control.
