Do you live in a constant state of anxiety? Is your ability to scan an environment and read people’s non-verbal messages uncanny? Have you forgotten what inner calm feels like? Constant fear is exhausting, and in time it takes a toll on your mental and physical health, and likely affects those closest to you. Maybe you’re even seeing early signs of perfectionism or social anxiety in your child. Ideally, anxiety would not occur without a good cause. At one point anxiety served you well and protected you from something frightening and/or uncomfortable. However, now your body’s alert system has become stuck in the “ON” position even though there currently is little to no evidence of danger. With EMDR, we can reset your alert system. It would be impossible to remove your protective fight or flight response, and we certainly would not want to. Nor do we diminish it’s ability to respond. However, we can work with it so it relearns how to turn “ON” when there is a valid reason for protection and then to turn “OFF” when the threat has passed.
