If you have been struggling with issues around self-worth, confidence or relationships you most likely have experienced some form of anxiety or depression. Many of the clients I work with have an easier time explaining what their symptoms look like without always knowing the cause. Individual therapy, tailored to you, can help you understand what’s at the root, helping you move forward and feel better for the long-term.
EMDR therapy helps people link triggers to disturbing memories- and through processing, desensitizes them. Individuals are thus deconditioned to triggers while adaptation of new information takes place. This processing allows emotions that were once suppressed to be worked through and therefore hold less weight. New awareness of maladaptive behaviors and negative beliefs unfold and healthy, effective and more adaptive behaviors and cognitions result.
EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issues or completing homework between sessions. It’s focus is on the body, therefore allowing the brain to resume it’s natural healing process. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other forms of psychotherapy.
As a person with ASD, it’s likely you’re more than equipped at handling certain aspects of life, but need help in others. You may be highly intelligent and have a successful career, but still struggle to truly connect socially and emotionally. Learning how to cope with and manage ASD is important for achieving and maintaining optimal functioning and having a plan of action is imperitive for success. A rewarding and fulfilling life with ASD is possible. Through increased understanding, awareness and accountability, you can thrive.
