How Trauma Therapy Can Help

  • Process Traumatic Memories: Help individuals process and reframe distressing memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity.
  • Regain a Sense of Safety: Re-establish feelings of safety and stability in the present moment.
  • Address Symptoms: Reduce symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, and hypervigilance.
  • Enhance Coping Skills: Equip individuals with tools and strategies to manage triggers and stressors.
  • Promote Healing and Growth: Support emotional healing and encourage personal growth and resilience.

Eye Movement Integration (EMI)

Eye Movement Integration (EMI) is a therapeutic approach used to address emotional distress and trauma. It is based on the idea that traumatic memories and emotions are stored in the brain in a fragmented way, and EMI aims to integrate these fragments to promote healing. Clients often experience reduced emotional distress, increased clarity, and greater resilience after EMI sessions. It is typically provided by trained therapists in a safe and controlled environment.

Kintsugi

Kintsugi therapy is a metaphorical approach to healing that draws inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold, highlighting its cracks rather than hiding them. This philosophy views imperfections as part of an object's history and beauty, encouraging individuals to embrace their "cracks" or emotional wounds as a meaningful aspect of their journey.


Kintsugi therapy serves as a beautiful reminder that healing isn't about returning to a previous state but embracing a new, enriched version of oneself.
