EMDR Therapy Charlotte, NC

There’s a battle between your head and your heart. Your brain is full of thoughts that sometimes don't even make sense. It feels like you’re fighting against yourself. You feel like your reactions are disproportionate to the situation.

Your emotions are super intense. Your emotions in response to situations are often a level 10, but logic tells you that the situation really called for a level 1 or 2. 

Your mind is always going. You keep thinking of the same thing over and over. There's a thought that’s stuck in your head. It feels like a Rubik’s cube that your brain just can't solve. You're having trouble turning your brain off at night. Sleep is not restful. It's hard to fall asleep, and when you do finally drift off, you’re waking up several times a night. 

You feel stuck. You still feel the exact same way you did the first time it happened. You’re asking yourself, “Why can’t I move on?” Your brain is like a dog with a bone, holding onto a thought that it just can't let go of. Even though it's been several years, the emotions feel as fresh as they did on day one. You believe talking about it will help, but it doesn’t. You keep talking about the same distressing experience over and over. By now, all of your friends have heard the story. You’re even tired of hearing yourself talk about it. But you can't help it. You can't stop yourself. Before you know it, you're talking about that experience yet again.

Nothing you have tried has worked. It's impacting the way you see yourself. You doubt yourself. Those around you would say you’re pretty confident, but you have this nagging feeling that you aren't good enough. In the deepest depths of your mind, a voice tells you that you are undeserving of love. So you keep busy to not only distract yourself from that voice but also to prove your worthiness through your productivity.

You believe you have to be perfect. You can’t make any mistakes…ever. When you allow yourself to be still and hear your inner voice, it's filled with fear, doubt, and criticism. It’s a cycle that you haven’t been able to break free from. 

It's exhausting. You’re telling yourself that there has to be another way. There is. And I can help you find it.

Hi, I'm Jeanetta Garrison - EMDR Therapist Charlotte, NC

I can help you get unstuck. Together we will uncover those deep roots that have impacted not only the way you see yourself but also how you show up in the world. We will rewrite your inner dialogue. As an EMDR therapist in Charlotte, NC, I take the whole-person approach to healing. This means we incorporate the brain and the body in our work together. In the early stages of EMDR therapy, I focus on ensuring that you feel safe and secure enough to take off your cape. I will do this by resourcing you with practical strategies that you can use both in and outside of session. I incorporate mindfulness, breathwork, meditation, introspection, education, empowerment, and skill-building into my therapeutic approach.

EMDR Therapy Charlotte, NC

EMDR is a cutting-edge science-based treatment modality. EMDR therapy is unlike traditional talk therapy. It’s not necessary to spend a lot of time rehashing your pain by talking about it over and over in order to get transformational outcomes. After only a few EMDR therapy sessions with me, clients have described feeling neutral about experiences that had previously been deeply distressing. 

Through weekly EMDR therapy, you will remove the roadblocks that have been getting in the way of you living a life in alignment with your highest and best self. You will learn to tap into the amazing power of your mind and heal from the pain you’ve endured.
