EMDR & Somatic Therapy
Transformative Approaches for Emotional Healing
At White Orchid Counseling, we specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and somatic therapy to help individuals heal from trauma and emotional distress. These therapies offer a compassionate path to emotional regulation and resilience, empowering you to reclaim balance and well-being.
Comprehensive Evaluations
EMDR and somatic therapy are therapeutic approaches designed to help individuals process trauma and reconnect with their inner strength. By addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of distress, these therapies promote holistic healing and personal growth.
EMDR works by using bilateral stimulation techniques, such as guided eye movements or tapping, to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories. This process reduces the emotional intensity of these memories, enabling clients to develop healthier perspectives and integrate their experiences adaptively. Somatic therapy complements EMDR by focusing on the connection between the mind and body. Through mindfulness practices, body awareness techniques, and movement-based exercises, somatic therapy helps clients release physical tension and restore a sense of calm.
Together, these therapies provide a comprehensive approach to trauma recovery, addressing both the emotional and physical manifestations of distress to promote lasting well-being.
