Durable anxiety relief is learned in the body, not won by willpower.
We begin with gentle regulation. You’ll practise anchors you can use anywhere: widening your gaze, feeling your feet, lengthening the exhale, softening the jaw, placing a hand over the heart to invite slower rhythm. These micro‑skills are there when the day speeds up.
Next we train somatic literacy—recognising the earliest signals that a spike is coming, like a flutter at the ribs, tunnelled vision or thoughts that race ahead. Instead of arguing with your mind, you’ll respond through your body and return to choice sooner.
When the ground is steadier, we use EMDR’s bilateral stimulation to process experiences that feed anxiety: the moment you felt trapped, the comment that still reverberates, the belief that rest is unsafe. Processing is titrated and collaborative so your system never has to push beyond capacity.
We pair all this with small structures to keep progress visible: one‑minute morning settles, a pre‑meeting check‑in, an evening staircase into sleep. Over time most people notice shorter spikes, clearer thinking and a kinder inner voice. Calm becomes a practice rather than a wish.
FAQ
Q1. How do you tailor anxiety treatment with EMDR?
We map triggers and early body cues, then process key moments with bilateral work so worry loses its grip.
Q2. Will I receive quick tools for busy days?
Yes. We create short anchors—morning settles, pre‑event resets, sleep entry cues—that protect calm across the day.
Q3. Is online support as effective as local sessions?
Both formats can work well when paced safely with clear anchors and regular review.
