While traditional talk therapy can have extremely positive effects on people, there are other therapeutic interventions that can help you process past experiences. EMDR therapy is an evidence-based practice that puts the client in the driver’s seat for their healing.

Sometimes people telling us to just get over it or being told we should let it go is not the most helpful. Actually those two keywords can do more harm than good making us feel they should fix what we are feeling. The reality is that for many people “just” and “should” does not change that we experienced something that is impacting us. Sometimes we can see how these experiences are impacting our current life and other times we may notice that our reactions to things today are more charged than they “should” be.
