"EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. Using the detailed protocols and procedures learned in EMDR therapy training sessions, clinicians help clients activate their natural healing processes."
"Brainspotting, or BSP, offers deep neurological healing that talk therapy alone often cannot access.
This technique gives us a way to access the subcortical brain, the place where emotional and somatic experiences are kept.
“Eyes are windows to the soul” and as it turns out, there’s medical research that proves that this old phrase is true. As the creator of this Brainspotting, Dr. David Grand, says, “where you look affects how you feel.”
Brainspotting helps track points in your visual field that reveal unprocessed trauma in the brain. A skilled Brainspotting clinician will utilize a pointer to guide your gaze whilst playing Bilateral sounds that stimulate both sides of the brain. Simultaneously, the Brainspotting clinician will carefully watch your physical responses as you talk through or think about a troubling event or concern.
According to David Grand, Ph.D.,“A “Brainspot” is the eye position which is related to the energetic/emotional activation of a traumatic/emotionally charged issue within the brain, most likely in the amygdala, the hippocampus, or the orbitofrontal cortex of the limbic system. Located by eye position, paired with externally observed and internally experienced reflexive responses, a Brainspot is actually a physiological subsystem holding emotional experience in memory form.”
Laser-like efficiency is possible when you are processing on a Brainspot, as it holds the brain's attention on the precise brain region that needs healing.
Individuals join a trained therapist for one-on-one consultations in a safe and open setting.
Weekly individual therapy sessions generally last 45 minutes / 60 minutes
For couples who have run into emotional trouble or just want to make sure their relationship gets off to a healthy start, relationship counseling is highly valuable.
Therapist-led group therapy is useful both as a supplement and an alternative to individual therapy. It provides real-life feedback and interaction among the patients.
Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts.
Family therapy can be useful in any family situation that causes stress, grief, anger or conflict. It can help you and your family members understand one another better and learn coping skills to bring you closer together.
Family therapy is often short term. It may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate. Family therapy sessions can teach you skills to deepen family connections and get through stressful times, even after you're done going to therapy sessions.
Psychoeducational groups are time limited structured and focused on a particular strategy.

"The Guest House is a by the 13th-century Sufi mystic Jallaludin Rumi (popularly known simply as Rumi). In the poem, Rumi uses the metaphor of a guest house to describe life’s journey.
Rumi’s poetry is sublime and eloquent, and it makes us appreciate the uncertainty of life and embrace mindful living."

“Our dreams and stories may contain implicit aspects of our lives even without our awareness. In fact, storytelling may be a primary way in which we can linguistically communicate to others—as well as to ourselves—the sometimes hidden contents of our implicitly remembering minds. Stories make available perspectives on the emotional themes of our implicit memory that may otherwise be consciously unavailable to us. This may be one reason why journal writing and intimate communication with others, which are so often narrative processes, have such powerful organizing effects on the mind: They allow us to modulate our emotions and make sense of the world.”
― Daniel J. Siegel, The Developing Mind: How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are
“We are always in a perpetual state of being created and creating ourselves. (p. 221)”

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.
But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.
Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.
The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean.
Khalil Gibran

Remember that you are Water.
Cry. Cleanse. Flow. Let go.
Remember that you are Fire.
Burn. Tame. Adopt. Ignite.
Remember that you are Air.
Observe. Breath. Focus. Decide.
Remember that you are Earth.
Ground. Give. Build. Heal.
Remember that you are Spirit.
Connect. Listen. Know. Be Still.
