FAQS
HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE?
Each session is about 50-55 minutes. The number of sessions you want is up to you. Some clients have a session every week, some have them every 2-3 weeks for as long as they need them.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING MY SESSION?
You can expect a non-judgmental environment, where you can feel safe to express your emotions and talk about the "hard things in life". It's not uncommon for strong emotions to come and go during therapy...you are processing tough experiences and with those experiences come different emotions.
WHAT IS EMDR?
EMDR is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a therapeutic tool that has been around since the 1980's to help Patients process through past experiences that have been stored in their bodies. There are several steps involved with EMDR, but they will be explained in more detail during your sessions. The overall goal of EMDR is to identify cognitive distortions and memories associated with those distortions, process through those memories and give the body permission to heal. It allows the brain to make connections between thoughts and experiences, clear out the negative and instill positive beliefs.
