Processing is a word for careful, respectful change. We make room for it without pushing.
We start by strengthening regulation—anchors you can call on anywhere and anytime. This steadiness is your safety harness.
Somatic awareness keeps us honest about capacity. We watch for the body’s yes/no and include protective responses instead of fighting them.
Then we use EMDR’s bilateral rhythm to approach stuck material a little at a time. We check consent often and keep returns to the present easy and swift.
Between sessions we use small structures to protect gains so everyday life becomes a place where healing can keep happening.
FAQ
Q1. What does ‘processing’ look like in practice?
Short EMDR sets with frequent pauses, somatic tracking and clear consent while we update stuck memories.
Q2. How do you prevent getting overwhelmed?
We stabilise first, use spacers and return to present as often as needed; pace is yours to set.
Q3. Will I have supports between sessions?
Yes—simple routines, boundary lines and rest cues that hold change gently.
