If you’ve ever thought, “I should be over this by now” or “Why does my body react this way even when I know I’m safe?” you’re not alone. As a counsellor, this is something I hear often.
Trauma doesn’t just live in our memories, it lives in the body. Even after we’ve talked about it or tried to make sense of it, our nervous system might still be holding onto the effects of what happened.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is helpful for managing anxiety at the start of a high school or college year in many ways!

You may have experienced some really heavy things in your past, or even now. It may be hard to focus at school, let alone when you hang out with friends and family. You may be curious to try EMDR. Maybe you have seen a Tik Tok on it, a friend talked about it, or maybe you have no idea what it is. EMDR can help support you in healing.
