Therapy for Trauma

From a therapeutic perspective, trauma is our body’s response to a severely distressing event that we experience. Usually, it’s a event that carries a significant danger to ourselves or someone we care about and often it’s an event that is outside of our control. Our body responds to these experiences in unique ways that can show up later in life and cause us problems. Trauma requires a specialized approach to healing.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is one of those specialized approaches that is practiced at DNA Therapy. It is a widely recognized, highly studied, and very effective means of helping you recover from your traumatic experiences, even if those things happens many years ago during your childhood. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms typical of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (e.g. flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, substance abuse, etc) or other responses to trauma, EMDR can be a very effective means of helping you.

EMDR Intensives are focused, extended therapy sessions designed to accelerate the healing process for individuals seeking relief from trauma, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. Unlike traditional therapy sessions, which typically last 50-60 minutes, EMDR Intensives are conducted over longer blocks of time—usually 90 minutes to several hours in a single day or across a few consecutive days. This approach allows for deeper work in a shorter timeframe, enabling clients to process and resolve distressing memories or emotions more efficiently. EMDR Intensives are particularly beneficial for those with busy schedules, those experiencing acute distress, or individuals looking for faster results compared to weekly sessions.

The process involves evidence-based EMDR techniques, providing a structured and supportive environment to help clients move through their healing journey at an accelerated pace while still ensuring safety and care.
