Somatic & Attachment-Informed EMDR Therapy

Healing Complex Trauma and Relationship Patterns

The Specialized Approach: What Makes This Different?

While traditional EMDR is highly effective for processing specific traumatic events, Somatic and Attachment-Informed EMDR is designed to heal the deep, relational wounds that often result in chronic anxiety, relationship struggles, and lifelong feelings of not being "enough."

This approach integrates three powerful elements:

  1. EMDR: The core methodology for reprocessing memories.

  2. Attachment Theory: Understanding how early relationships created the emotional blueprint you still follow.

  3. Somatic Psychology: Focusing on the body's wisdom—how trauma is stored as tension, anxiety, or disconnection in the nervous system.

We don't just talk about the past; we work directly with the body to discharge old survival energy and create new, healthier wiring.

This Advanced Therapy is Ideal For:

This specialized approach is designed for adults 21+ who are struggling with issues that traditional talk therapy or standard EMDR may not have fully resolved:

  • Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) / Developmental Trauma: Trauma that occurred over extended periods (e.g., childhood emotional neglect, abusive relationships).

  • Relationship and Attachment Issues: Chronic difficulty trusting, maintaining intimate relationships, or persistent fears of abandonment.

  • Chronic Shame and Low Self-Worth: Deeply held negative self-beliefs that sabotage personal and professional success.

  • Body-Based Symptoms: Anxiety, chronic pain, or emotional numbness that medicine or physical treatment hasn't resolved.

  • Emotional Dysregulation: Feeling easily overwhelmed, shut down, or unable to control strong emotional reactions.

The Three Pillars of Your Somatic EMDR Journey

A. Attachment Repair

We work to identify and change the core, unmet needs from childhood that drive your current relationship patterns. This involves helping you cultivate earned secure attachment so you can approach intimacy and trust with greater ease.

B. Somatic Awareness

We help you notice and safely process the felt sense of trauma in your body (e.g., a knot in your stomach, tightness in your chest). By learning to tune into your nervous system regulation, you move from states of perpetual "fight-or-flight" into a grounded, calm presence.

C. Systemic Reprocessing (EMDR)

Using the power of bilateral stimulation, we systematically reprocess the memories and negative self-beliefs (I am unworthy/ I must be perfect) that keep you stuck. This is where the lasting cognitive and emotional shift happens.
