explore Your way back to CalmWhat is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, protocol-based, therapy using bilateral stimulation and eye movements, sound, or light touch to help your brain and body quickly resolve distressing or overwhelming experiences. Somatic EMDR is a process of focusing on what the body is ready to release, which we honor at Calm Hearts Counseling
Different from traditional talk therapy, EMDR, and Somatic EMDR, works at the level of the nervous system, helping you quickly process what’s felt “stuck” in the mind and body so it no longer feels as intense or ever-present. EMDR therapy blends intuitive guidance paired with a structured sequence that is known to greatly enhance therapeutic outcomes.
As an EMDR therapist in Mesa, Arizona, Christine Slomski gently guides clients through a process that helps to:
Reduce anxiety felt in the body as well as emotional overwhelm
Release patterns that keep you feeling stuck in mind and body
Feel safer and more at ease in your body
Shift negative beliefs like “I should be over this” or “something is wrong with me”
Heal traumatic experiences
You don’t have to force yourself to “push through” or “just move on” if you haven’t received results through talk therapy alone. Incorporating Somatic EMDR, your brain and body can actually resolve what hasn’t been fully processed.
