Welcome to Healing Pause Mental Health Counseling, EMDR with Riyon!

It seems like us harder than it needs to be sometimes. There’s a lot of things that can make us feel anxious. We may not have the words to describe the feelings, but we can see it. No one wants to see someone they love struggle. When they struggle, you might be triggered yourself. It's hard to stay calm when those buttons get pushed.

When you go through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, you work with a therapist to revisit a difficult memory while your attention is guided by something that moves back and forth, like a light or alternating sounds. This technique helps your brain to process and make sense of the troubling memory, reducing its emotional impact over time. Think of it as mentally tidying up and organizing a room that has been cluttered with stressful thoughts, making it easier for you to manage and feel more at ease with your past experiences. It's like giving your mind the tools to heal and grow.
