You may have had an event in your life like an illness, death, injury or relationship that has impacted you to the point that you are reactive, anxious, overwhelmed and triggered about situations or events that resemble those incidents.Many people who have experienced either witnessing seeing an incident, heard of an incident or directly experiencing the incident may deal with unresolved trauma that could be wreaking havoc on your life and making things unmanageable.
No one should have to go through life dealing with the emotional aftermath of what you have already lived through. It is like you are having to suffer multiple times in many different ways after the situation is over. Did you know that when we have unresolved trauma, we may actually repeat some of the same relational issues or play out a similar script so it seems like our lives are a ground hog day, that is- it keeps repeating the same thing in many different ways.

Did you know that you can actually start having physical symptoms depending on how we have been coping with circumstances? It is like our bodies literally tell us we have to start living differently, whether it is to slow down, start speaking up, or getting out of that toxic relationship.
We understand how overwhelming and debilitating anxiety, PTSD and trauma can be, and our goal is to help you reclaim your life through EMDR therapy. At iMentalhealth Counselling, we offer EMDR (eye movement desentization and Reprocessing, which helps you to work through the trauma to get you out of the negative spiral that has been holding you back.
EMDR Therapy is a highly effective modality that focuses on facilitating the brain’s natural healing process for those struggling with anxiety, PTSD, and trauma-related symptoms. Our EMDR therapists work with each client individually to tailor our therapy services to their unique needs. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, where clients are asked to focus on specific traumatic memories, distressing thoughts, or emotions while processing them. Our therapists use eye movements, sounds or physical sensations to stimulate specific areas of the brain, enabling them to reprocess, and integrating traumatic or distressing experiences into the whole brain. When traumatic memories no longer hold the weight and negative impact they once did, clients are able to experience relief and significantly reduce distressing mental and emotional symptoms.
