Women have special issues that are inherent to their gender, as well as needs to be comfortable as a unique individual.We continue to be in a time of great change with regard to women’s roles and behaviors.
For that reason, we face special challenges that extend to every part of our lives. The challenges that we face place stress on our minds, our bodies, and our relationships, resulting in the need for therapeutic understanding and guidance. EMDR provides a special and effective kind of therapy that can enhance the ability to cope with life’s challenges.
Though EMDR is most widely known for its efficiency in resolving trauma such as rape, sexual abuse, and harassment, it is also useful for treating loss, physical health concerns, chronic pain, fears, confusion, and emotional overwhelm relating to negative experiences. It is a good idea to review the list of issues on our Specialty Section that can be helped by EMDR. It is extensive. An additional benefit of EMDR is the discovery and strengthening of personal skills and resources that alleviate that “stuck” feeling with regard to changing behaviors and realizing goals.
Whether you want to enhance your strengths or clear out distressing emotions or stuck programming about low self-esteem, these goals are achievable. We hope you will encounter an amazing experience in working with an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist or Counselor who can join with you to help you reach your greatest potential and cherished dreams.
