FAQs about trauma therapy
-
EMDR therapy for trauma can help a person get to the root of a symptom and the beliefs that were created because of the negative experience. The goal of the process is to release the unfavorable and invalidating thoughts and replace them with validating and positive beliefs.
When this is successfully accomplished, a person can find relief in also letting go of the uncomfortable symptoms, such as: social anxiety, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, low self-esteem, symptoms of PTSD, and others.

In my Roseland, NJ-based trauma informed therapy practice, I often see people who suffer from anxiety, social anxiety phobia, or symptoms of depression.
People who have traumas in their past develop anger or sadness with anxiety. Some have history of bad relationships. They struggle with challenging family dynamics, self-esteem issues, being taken advantage of, or not standing up for themselves. Other trauma-based issues I see are co-dependency, crippling anxiety, and work-related productivity issues.

The effects of trauma show up everywhere and create patterns that lead to living a small, unfulfilling life. Without knowing what to do, or having the confidence to act on it, the tendency is to continue in the same negative patterns, making the same choices and decisions.
I offer talk therapy combined with EMDR and alternating bilateral stimulation or tapping to help you gain a positive perspective as you release negative beliefs.
“With trauma counseling I want to help people to release and discard negative cognitions and replace them with positive beliefs, thoughts, and actions so they feel more joyous and satisfied with themselves and can live a happy life.”

I lead them through processing with EMDR and talk therapy so they can release their traumas and symptoms to live a peaceful, confident life.
