Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

What is Trauma?

Trauma is more than the events or experiences we endure. It’s how those life experiences shape our emotions, behaviors, and sense of safety and belonging in the world. It can show up in many ways, including:

• Chronic anxiety, depression, or loneliness

• A constant state of hypervigilance and unease

• Difficulty trusting others, forming relationships, or maintaining healthy connections

• Struggling to communicate your feelings, needs, or desires

• Deep feelings of unworthiness, shame, or self-criticism

• Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts

Anyone can experience trauma at any time – as a child, in adulthood, at home, or at work. Unresolved trauma leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Even if you don’t think your experiences “count” as trauma, the impact on your mental health is real: trauma rewires your physiology and brain to focus on fear and hypervigilance as a protective mechanism.
