Awareness Tip: EMDR can be life-changing for those carrying emotional pain. If it resonates, consider reaching out to a mental health professional.

Overcoming addiction requires going to the very core of the problem, which in most cases is trauma. Accelerated Trauma Therapy Delray Beach has become popular due to its novelty in trauma management in record time. Ever wondered why different treatments take different times to show their effectiveness? Let us illustrate it to you.

What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a psychotherapy approach designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is recognized as an effective treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It's based on the premise that the mind can heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.

How EMDR Works

EMDR therapy involves an eight-phase treatment process, which includes:

History Taking and Treatment Planning: Understanding the client's history to identify specific traumatic memories for treatment.

Preparation: Establishing trust and explaining the EMDR process to the client. Techniques for handling emotional distress are often taught in this phase.

Assessment: Identifying the vivid visual image related to the memory, negative beliefs about oneself, related emotions, and body sensations.

Desensitization: Focusing on the traumatic memory while engaging in specific types of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements, auditory tones, or tactile taps. This process is thought to facilitate the brain's information processing.

Installation: Strengthening positive beliefs to replace the negative ones associated with the traumatic memory.

Body Scan: Identifying and addressing any residual physical tension or discomfort associated with the memory.

Closure: Returning the client to equilibrium, regardless of whether the memory has been fully processed in a session.

Reevaluation: Assessing the client's progress and determining if further processing is needed.

For certain individuals, childhood poses a significant challenge, marked by prolonged exposure to abuse, neglect, or bullying, encompassing emotionally or physically traumatic experiences. These encounters not only shape their self-perception and worldview but also contribute to the development of diverse brain regions. Such influences carry enduring consequences that extend into adulthood, exerting adverse effects on both their relationships and mental well-being.

stream of consciousness/ thoughts from the in-between; the disabled hermit girl in denial & falling far behind the others out there living in the real world; trying to keep pace with a life no longer meant for her. approx 2021-2022.

Deadline/Completion Date: I’m not a complete fkn idiot. I’m not going to put a time limitation on something as important as this. Doing exactly shit like that - trying to fit my disabilities/chronic illnesses (Read: limited existence) & ADHD-hardwired way of thinking/navigating this world into a life that never quite fit right, that I could never really make work, and of course it was at a pace that I could never keep up with, leaving me behind and feeling defeated and very alone each and every time I tried my little heart out to make it work. My isolation at Balwyn Cottage and very limited social interactions outside of home or at all had this awful way of making me feel like I somehow had started existing outside of time that ticked by out there, watching people pass by my windows, faces almost distorted as if I were viewing them on a sped-up VHS tape.

The people. Busy & full with their intricate and interwoven lives. The million and one faces of humanity floating by the cottage window, every one blissfully unaware of the sickly hermit girl, hidden within the cottage, unseen for closed doors & shut garden gates - and how she ached with missing the daily ordinary of their lives. How they made moving through the world look as if they were dancing across days – their lives an artform – one that her neurodiversity could just never make sense of. She never ceases to gape in awe at the ease, the grace of movement - The people outside seem to be so inherently gifted with; the way they move effortlessly through the hours – stepping & spinning in and out of social circles, passions, learning; with the must-dos, need-to-dos, want-to-dos - beautifully burdened & blessed by the obligations & expectations bestowed.

And yet, the sick hermit girl is still to see any one of the many-faced outsiders stumble on the beautiful paths each of them cut through the day. Not one has ever missed a step.

Not yesterday. Or the day before yesterday. Nor last week. Not six months ago.

The sickly hermit girl has counted years made from the numbered days spent at the cottage window in silent wonderment at the beauty of the lives dancing across her view; at the artwork in their fluent motion, weaving through the world, navigating their paths through this life with such natural ease.

She cannot remember if everyone outside always were so teeming with rhythm & joie de vie - or perhaps everyone is a lowkey professional ballroom dancer in their spare time.

The sickly hermit girl didnt know. Even when she lived in that world, she never quite could figure out how.

Oh yes. She is envious.

I got caught up in thinking I was so unique that no one else could understand my journey. Then I began to listen to others in groups and meetings and came to understand we are all walking the same path. I wish you light on the journey!

First EMDR Session

I came to Andrew, who does EMDR

With knives in my brain

And begged him,

“Help me pull these out.

So I don’t bleed on my kids.

They deserve better than a mother

With blades in her head.”

???

He took my hand

Like a friend, 

And I placed it

On my head.

I expected the trauma version

Of pulling a tooth.

It’s not that.

???

I looked up and I saw…

The blades weren’t there.

Not anymore.

I just had scar tissue

In the shape of many knives

That have long since gone

And no doubt rusted away.

???

Andrew massaged a section of my brain…

Like when you rub your hands together 

On a cold day, to get the blood flowing.

It worked. It flowed 

To every brain cell.

The healthy ones,

And scarred ones both.

???

Whatever this is,

It is the opposite of dissociation.

I had no idea the world could be this vivid. 

Music is fascinating, 

People have so much to teach me,

I love this video game

My husband has the sweetest laugh.

???

I feel past humiliations

With all the intensity

Of a blinding fever.

But when I am not doing that…

I am mesmerized 

By the present world

And hopeful for the future. ???

Had another emdr session on Monday. We worked on something I didn't think bothered me so much as the 1st time but I nearly had a panic attack.

It's funny what you don't realize effects you.
