A Deeper Way to Heal: How EMDR & DeTUR Can Help

EMDR: When Talking About It Isn't Enough

Have you ever noticed how some feelings or memories feel completely "stuck," no matter how much you talk about them? You might have logically worked through a painful past experience, but your body and mind still react as if it's happening all over again.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps the brain "unstick" those memories. We don't just talk about the past; we help your mind reprocess and release it in a way that allows you to finally heal. This is done in a safe, supported way with the guidance of your therapist.

EMDR can be incredibly effective in treating the symptoms of past trauma, such as:

  • Anxiety and a sense of being on high alert

  • Persistent negative thoughts like "I'm not good enough"

  • Feelings of shame, guilt, or worthlessness

  • A deep sense that something is fundamentally wrong with you

The goal is to help your brain store painful memories in a way that no longer impacts your present life. Imagine the freedom of finally moving forward with a peaceful mind and knowing that the past is truly in the past.

Finding Freedom from Urges: The DeTUR Model

As a gentle soul, you've probably felt the frustration of being completely overwhelmed by a powerful urge or a paralyzing fear. It feels like a part of your brain has created an automatic, powerful link between a feeling or an event and the urge to either act or avoid.

The DeTUR model, a specialized EMDR approach, is designed to help your brain unhook that link. Instead of relying on willpower, which can feel utterly exhausting, we work to reprocess the memories and triggers that set you off. We help those intense urges to act or powerful fears to avoid lose their power, so they no longer feel like they're in control.

DeTUR is a powerful tool for finding lasting freedom from:

  • Overwhelming urges and cravings

  • Compulsive behaviors and the need to avoid

  • The feeling of being controlled by a trigger or a fear

The goal is to help you feel back in the driver's seat of your own life. You’ll be able to respond to triggers and fears from a place of peace and choice, rather than being at the mercy of an automatic urge or a powerful fear.
