EMDR & Somatic Therapy
At Somatic Women, we understand that life leaves lasting imprints. These imprints can stem from traumatic experiences—whether sudden, overwhelming events or the slow buildup of stress, disconnection, and unmet needs. Trauma often hides beneath the surface but can show up as anxiety, exhaustion, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in life.
Our holistic, integrative approach to healing honors both your body’s wisdom and the complexity of your personal story. Whether you’re navigating trauma recovery or seeking to feel more grounded, present, and empowered, our online somatic therapy and trauma-informed care are here to support your journey back home to yourself.
What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help process distressing memories, reduce emotional triggers, and restore balance to the nervous system. At Somatic Women, EMDR is thoughtfully integrated with body-based, somatic approaches to support deep, lasting healing and trauma recovery.
Using bilateral stimulation techniques—such as guided eye movements or tapping—EMDR helps the brain safely reprocess traumatic experiences, lessening their emotional intensity and allowing for healthier integration. This process enables individuals to shift unhelpful beliefs, release emotional distress, and regain greater control over their thoughts and feelings.
Our therapists specialize in EMDR treatment for a wide range of trauma-related concerns, including:
-
Anxiety & Panic Attacks – EMDR targets the root causes of anxiety by reprocessing distressing memories and emotional triggers. This supports reduction in anxious thoughts, physical symptoms, and avoidance behaviors
-
Depression & Low Self-Worth – Traumatic experiences often contribute to negative self-beliefs and emotional numbness. EMDR helps process these wounds, replacing shame, guilt, or hopelessness with renewed empowerment and self-compassion.
-
PTSD & Traumatic Experiences – EMDR is a leading treatment for PTSD, flashbacks, hypervigilance, and emotional dysregulation. By safely reprocessing traumatic memories, individuals can heal and move forward without being defined by their past.
-
Chronic Stress & Emotional Overwhelm – Trauma can keep the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode, causing burnout, irritability, and exhaustion. Our trauma-informed, somatic approach helps restore nervous system balance, fostering calm and emotional resilience.
