Do you understand why you are feeling all these?
The root of the problem is Trauma.
We all experience incidents and situations that are threatening, disturbing, overwhelming, or upsetting. We may all have some unknown and unattended attachment ruptures and injuries from relationships. All these experiences traumatize us and develop insecurity in us.
When we are traumatized, our brain is affected, causing problems in our health. That’s why we experience symptoms like anxiety, depression, phobia, anger, shame, critical voices, low self-worth, sleeplessness, flashbacks, chronic pain, and obsessive thoughts and behaviours.
When trauma is not treated effectively, the symptoms exaxerbate. It happens when we have not found an effective treatment to treat these emotional wounds. We ended up bearing with it, distracting ourselves from it, and thinking that this is it for the rest of our lives.
These symptoms can be resolved
Eye Movement De-Sensitization Reprocessing Therapy (aka. EMDR) is the way out. EMDR therapy is an evidence-based therapy that heals us from a neurological level. EMDR therapy resolves trauma effectively by reprocessing maladaptive resources in our body and mind via integrating with adaptive resources. Therefore, the sense of security obtained through therapy does not only stay at the cognitive level but also at the emotional and somatic level. It is often to hear clients after therapy reporting unprecedented calmness and peacefulness in both their body and mind.
