Trauma Informed Healing for Deep Emotional Processing

​

Are you seeking relief from overwhelming memories, persistent anxiety, or experiences that seem “stuck” even after talk therapy? At Healing With Grace Counseling & Ketamine Center, we offer advanced, evidence-based trauma therapies — EMDR and Brainspotting — designed to help your nervous system process difficult experiences and move toward lasting resilience and peace.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a clinically supported approach that helps the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing memories so they no longer trigger intense emotional or physical reactions. During EMDR sessions, your clinician guides you through techniques that involve bilateral stimulation — often gentle side-to-side eye movements — as you bring to mind challenging memories in a safe, supportive environment. Over time, this process reduces the emotional charge of those memories and enhances adaptive coping.

Who may benefit from EMDR?

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Depression linked to past experiences

  • Distressing memories that arise in daily life

  • Emotional reactions that feel out of proportion to present circumstances

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a powerful, body-based therapy that helps clients access deep emotional and somatic (body-based) reactions related to unresolved experiences. Rather than following structured eye movements, Brainspotting focuses on identifying specific eye positions — or “spots” — that correspond with where the brain holds emotional stress. Once located, maintaining this gaze can help the brain release deeply stored tension and emotions that don’t easily surface through talking alone.

Brainspotting is especially helpful for:

  • Deep or complex trauma responses

  • Emotional blockages or numbness

  • Stress that persists despite traditional talk therapy

  • Clients who want a more intuitive, client-guided healing process

How These Therapies Work Together

While EMDR and Brainspotting have unique styles, they share a common goal — helping your nervous system process what your mind may have avoided or stored intensely. Our clinicians are trained to thoughtfully integrate these modalities based on your needs. Some clients benefit from the structured approach of EMDR, others find profound breakthroughs in Brainspotting, and many have found that a tailored combination of both supports deeper healing.

What to Expect in a Session

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. After an initial assessment, your therapist will:

  1. Build trust and establish goals tailored to your healing journey.

  2. Teach grounding and stabilization skills so you feel steady during processing.

  3. Engage in EMDR or Brainspotting techniques at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.

  4. Pause and integrate experiences before ending the session, ensuring you feel calm, resourced, and clear about next steps.

Who This Supports

EMDR and Brainspotting have been effective for people experiencing:

  • Trauma and PTSD symptoms

  • Chronic stress or anxiety

  • Depression tied to unresolved experiences

  • Emotional responses to life transitions

  • Feeling “stuck” despite traditional talk therapy

You don’t have to relive the past — you can reframe your present and reshape your future.
