Trauma Therapy and EMDR in Virginia and Wisconsin
What EMDR Actually Is
EMDR is not hypnosis. You stay awake, aware, and in control the whole time. Using guided eye movements or gentle taps, it helps your brain reprocess a memory that is still stored as though it is happening now, so it stops hijacking your present. It is one of the most researched trauma therapies available.
You Do Not Have to Relive Every Detail
One of the biggest fears about trauma therapy is being made to tell the whole story out loud. EMDR does not work that way. You decide what you share, and we move at a pace your nervous system can handle. Nothing happens in a session that you have not agreed to first.
Trauma Does Not Have to Be a Big Event
Trauma is not only combat, assault, or disaster. Years of criticism, a frightening medical scare, an unpredictable childhood home, or a loss no one acknowledged can leave the same fingerprints on a nervous system. If it overwhelmed your ability to cope at the time, it counts.
Trauma in Children and Teens
Children often show trauma through behavior rather than words: sleep trouble, clinginess, aggression, going backward in skills they had mastered, or a sudden refusal to do something ordinary. Tania uses art and play-based approaches with younger clients and works alongside parents throughout.
