Trauma can occur from a single experience, or from multiple negative experiences over a lifetime. Childhood abuse or neglect, sexual assaults, and frightening events can be traumatic. So too can hostile or conflicted family relationships, being bullied, and so much more. Healing trauma does not mean forgetting, but it does mean that the trauma and the nervous system responses you may have will no longer control you. You deserve to have your power, safety, and freedom back.

Trauma can derive from obvious, horrific events, as well as from universal ones such as having been raised by a critical parent. In other words, what determines trauma is its impact, not the event(s) itself. Upsetting experiences - even forgotten ones - can get lodged in our nervous systems and stimulated in subsequent, parallel circumstances. Trauma treatment, including EMDR, can help clients adaptively process past experiences to prevent them from getting re-triggered in the present.
