You are not alone
therapy is cool
Art Therapy
Art Therapy is unique. It is a way of working when sometimes there are no words for what is happening. For example, our trauma is stored in the right side of our brain. This is also the side of the brain that holds our visual processing. Sometimes things can come out in the art that we just don't have words for.
EMDR Trauma Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, yes that is really the name. No wonder we shorten it to EMDR! This is an incredible brain based therapy that sounds crazy, but I promise ignites some pretty incredible healing.
What is trauma? For some people it’s a big event: a car accident, the loss of a loved one, for others it looks like the little every day moments that don’t get talked about, that you’re figuring out now aren’t normal. It’s something that’s preventing you from moving forward, happy, healthy, and excited about your future.
Anxiety/Depression
Anxiety looks different for everyone but there are key parts of it that may feel like it’s taking over your day. It may seem like you can’t focus at work or school, that you feel like you’re spending more time trying to feel and act normal so other people don’t notice that you’re just not present because the worry has taken over.
It’s not always sweatpants and Netflix, it’s feeling foggy and not engaged. You’re not excited and you feel numb. You do the things you’re expected to do, but you’re not taking care of yourself, your sleep schedule is off, you’re in a funk that feels like it doesn’t end.
