What Issues Does Attachment-Focussed EMDR Address?
I specialise in working with mid-life women. If you are somewhere navigating middle-age, you may have this feeling that something from the past is needing to be addressed. Sometimes this something you know about and feels serious; such as forms of abuse or other adverse childhood experiences, (the 'big-T traumas.')
Sometimes, in the absence of such obvious events, it may feel hard to pinpoint what happenned. You may even feel that others have 'had it much harder than me.' What might be true however, is that due to situations in early-life, family relationships, you are left with unresolved painful mindsets and feelings which need to be addressed, (sometimes referred to as 'small-T traumas.')
On top of this, life may be changing in ways which feel unsettling. Work, family relationships may feel especially challenging, life direction dissolving.
Or you are struggling with various health conditions - chronic fatique, auto-immune, or any other life-limiting conditions.
If you are interested in having Attachment-Focussed EMDR, you might therefore relate to one or more of the following:
- Struggling with low moods, low self-worth or low self-esteem
- Feeling anxious, on edge, catastrophizing, plagued by self-doubt, self-attack or perfectionism.
- Feeling irritable, or prone to angry outbursts.
- Feeling numb, not sure what you are feeling, feeling ‘out of it,’ struggling to feel present, ‘dissociating.’
- Feeling stuck in life, hopeless or despairing. Work or relationships may have shifted
- Feeling confused about who you are and your direction in life
- Experiencing flash backs, or symptoms of PTSD
- Serious illness, chronically low energy, or health anxiety.
- Experiencing work stress, overwork, bullying etc.
- Experiening relationship difficulties or domestic abuse.
- Feeling sad, having experienced loss or suffering grief.
- Struggling with an addictive lifestyle.
