Do you feel drawn to toxic relationships?
Or feel insecure when you are in relationships?
Do you find it difficult to connect with your partner, or feel shut down when there is conflict?
Is being vulnerable with your partner intimidating?

If so, EFT can help.

What It Is:

EFT is an attachment oriented approach to therapy that is based on our biological need as humans for emotional connection.

How It Works:

EFT is a relational therapy that delves into past relationships and how they have led us to our current patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving.

EFT can be used with individuals or with couples-and can help you get to “earned” secure attachment.

How It Helps:

EFT helps create awareness around attachment-based triggers, cycles of ineffective emotional regulation, and creating corrective emotional experiences. This can result in improved relationships with yourself and others.

EFT can not only improved relationships-it has been demonstrated as an effective method for treating depression, anxiety, low self esteem and self criticism.

You’re tired of talking about it. In fact, if you have to tell your story one more time you’re going to scream. Distressing memories keep haunting you and it feels like you’re floating through life. You know something needs to change.

EMDR therapy can help.

What It Is:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing loosens up something in the mind that gives people rapid access to loosely associated memories and images from the past. This seems to help them put traumatic experiences into a larger context or perspective. Unlike most forms of talk therapy, EMDR focuses less on the traumatic event itself and more on the disturbing emotions and symptoms that result from the event.

How it Works:

During EMDR, the client thinks about the traumatic experience while simultaneously focusing on lateral eye movements, tapping, or audio-stimulation.

How it Helps:

This modality has been shown to help with PTSD, anxiety, phobias, addictions, grief, chronic pain, dissociative disorders, and personality disorders. Studies show that EMDR therapy helps people heal from the symptoms and emotional distress of trauma in a much shorter amount of time than traditional psychotherapy methods.

Are you tired of suffering from overwhelming emotions such as intense anger, chronic feelings of emptiness, or mood swings?

Enter DBT.

What It Is:

DBT is the “math” for learning to regulate emotions, increase distress tolerance, and decrease conflict in relationships.

How It Helps:

Studies show that DBT is effective in treating Borderline Personality Disorder, self harm, breaking patterns of self destructive behaviour, substance use issues, suicidal ideation, binge eating, depression, and impulsive behaviours.

Have you tried talk therapy without a ton of success? Talk therapy can be helpful in acknowledging the reality of what’s happened, but talking about it doesn’t put it behind you because it doesn’t go deep enough into the survival part of your brain.

Trauma robs you of the feeling that you are in charge of yourself — the challenge of recovery is to reestablish ownership of your body and your mind — of your self.

Traumatized people are often afraid of feeling. Apprehension about being hijacked by uncomfortable feelings keeps the body frozen and the mind shut. Even though the trauma may be in the past, the emotional brain keeps generating sensations that make the person feel scared and helpless.

This means feeling free to know what you know and to feel what you feel without becoming overwhelmed, enraged, ashamed or collapsed.

What It Is:

Neuroscience research shows us that the only way to change how we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.

How It Works

Typically, most therapy uses our cognitive skills to access our memories or traumas via “top-down” methods. However, somatic experiencing uses a “bottom-up” approach, which starts with bodily sensations before returning to our thoughts.
