IFS-Informed-EMDR
Healing at the intersection of the mind and body.
Trauma can leave you feeling fragmented, as if parts of you are locked in the past—emotionally, mentally, or physically. You may find that certain memories or experiences continue to impact your present, causing distress, confusion, or even a sense of being stuck. IFS-Informed EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) combines the best of two transformative approaches to help you heal from the inside out, reconnecting fragmented parts and facilitating deep healing.
Both IFS and EMDR are backed by extensive research and have been proven to significantly reduce trauma symptoms. When combined, they create a comprehensive treatment for trauma that works with your inner world, helps release stuck memories, and integrates healing at the deepest level of mind and body. IFS-Informed EMDR acknowledges the importance of understanding your parts, your inner experience, and your body’s response to trauma while guiding you to process and reframe distressing memories through EMDR.
This approach creates a safe, compassionate environment for you to heal, allowing for transformative shifts that are not only emotional but also embodied and lasting.
The magic of IFS-informed-EMDR.
IFS-Informed EMDR builds on the strengths of both therapies, allowing you to heal trauma while understanding and integrating the parts of yourself that may still carry pain, fear, or unresolved emotions. EMDR is an effective, evidence-based technique for processing trauma, but when combined with IFS, it deepens the work by honoring your internal parts and their roles in your healing process.
With IFS-Informed EMDR, we guide you to access and understand the parts of yourself that hold past wounds, while using EMDR’s bilateral stimulation to help your brain process these memories in a safe and adaptive way. The result is a holistic healing experience that integrates your mind, emotions, and body, so you can move forward with greater peace, clarity, and wholeness.
Trauma can impact all aspects of your life.
Trauma doesn’t just affect our minds—it impacts our emotions, behaviors, and the very way we relate to ourselves and others. IFS-Informed EMDR helps you heal from the inside out by releasing stored trauma, reducing emotional reactivity, and creating internal harmony. If you’ve experienced trauma, you may have noticed:
Emotional or physical flashbacks
Difficulty feeling grounded or present
Emotional numbing or feeling disconnected from others
Struggling with overwhelming thoughts or intrusive memories
Self-doubt, guilt, or shame that feels inescapable
Repeating patterns of fear or anxiety that hold you back
IFS-Informed EMDR allows you to not only process these painful memories but also to connect with the parts of you that have been impacted by them, releasing old burdens and fostering a deeper sense of integration and self-compassion.
