“True mental health involves a frank acceptance of how much ill health there will have to be in even the most ostensibly competent and meaningful life. And we should be no more reluctant to seek help than we are when we develop a chest infection or a sore knee – and should consider ourselves no less worthy of love and sympathy.” – Alain de Botton

SPECIALIZATION
EMDR
✓ Professionally trained
✓ Telehealth & In-Person
When we experience trauma, we might find it very difficult to live in the present moment. We can often feel stressed, numb, unsafe, and deeply unhappy with ourselves and our relationships. Trauma extends beyond isolated incidents of experiencing horrible events such as sexual assault, car accidents, and natural disasters. We can also be traumatized in relationships that were supposed to be safe and nurturing. We might have grown up in a household where there was emotional abuse that continues to impact us as adults, consciously or subconsciously.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of therapy that can help you heal from these disturbing past experiences and learn to feel better about yourself. EMDR involves recalling memories and reprocessing using bi-lateral stimulation such as side-to-side eye movements or physical stimulation. It can be stressful to recall traumatic events, but EMDR is designed to help you feel relief from traumatic symptoms and reduce feelings of shame. At Kinnection, our professionally EMDR-trained therapists deliver the therapy in person and via telehealth.
