EMDR
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Discovered and honed in the late 80s by psychologist Francine
Shapiro. EMDR has been empirically tested.
EMDR mimics the same physiological mechanism that happens naturally during sleep called REM. The back-and-forth eye movement that accompanies REM connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain, engaging both logic and emotion. Why does this matter? It allows our brains to sort through past events and place them appropriately in a rational timeline.
Just as the body sends white blood cells to heal an infected area, the psyche sends intrusive thoughts, nightmares in an attempt to reprocess the memory. This is evidence of the body attempting to heal itself--it wants a do-over!
EMDR allows for the desensitize of the raw memory while reprocessing or integrating the information in a safe space. Once the brain has that chance to appropriately process the memory, most people find the sting of the event is reduced or eliminated. At the same time, the irrational negative beliefs that are a component of the memory, shift toward positive, more hopeful ones.
Parenting
With my own experience of being a mother, and my more than 5 years of working as a Parenting Coach I will provide education, guidance and tools on how to deal with parenting issues that are affecting you. Using a strength base aproach I will support you on how to apply discipline that will teach your child instead of using punishment that only generates conflits and disconnections.
Inner child healing
I believe that everybody has an Inner Child. We cannot change our childhood experiences, but we can learn to acknowledge, accept and take responsibility for healing the impact it had on us.
Inner Child healing is work you do, to dissolve the stuck childhood emotions that you still hold and are guiding your present life.
During this kind of healing work, we shift our capacity to face life from our wounded Inner Child to an adult perspective.
Radical Aliveness
Are you struggling with conflict in your life? Do you want to be fully alive, authentic and spontaneous? Do you want to be open to all of your feelings and not afraid of knowing anything about yourself or others in your life?
Radical aliveness uses the body awareness and the counselor unconditional presence, as essential tools. I will adapt my work to your unique needs, depending on the issue, your goals, and your motivation.
