WHAT IS EMDR?

SELF-COMPASSION PRACTICES

CONNECT BEFORE YOU DIRECT

“In order to regain control over your self, you need to revisit the trauma:

Sooner or later you need to confront what has happened to you, but only after you feel safe and will not be retraumatized by it. The first order of business is to find ways to cope with feeling overwhelmed by the sensations and emotions associated with the past.”

— Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps The Score
