Stress and Anxiety Don’t Have to Drive You

We live in a world that praises doing as much as possible—perfectly. Stress and anxiety are natural responses to these pressures.

For the high-achievers I work with, anxiety often fuels them to push through fatigue, prioritize others, and only feel okay when ticking tasks off their to-do lists. Yet, no matter how much they accomplish, they can’t relax. If you’re searching for anxiety therapy near me, you’re not alone; there’s support tailored for you here.”

How Does EMDR Work?

The Illumine Therapy Method is designed to help you understand your current state and create lasting change, fast.
Identify

Identify

Before “doing anything,” we get to the root of what’s holding you back and what you really want out of life. Then, we come up with a plan to get you there … fast.

Dive In

After we identify the real problem and what we are working toward, we will begin to understand areas of mind, emotions, sensations, and patterns that are no longer benefiting you.
Change

Change

Once we understand, we move toward change. Helping you build concrete skills, processing barriers that keep you stuck, and working on small, actionable steps. Integrating all of this so you graduate therapy, not only seeing the change but also feeling the change.

How Does Anxiety Therapy Work?

Cluster Image Pointing Down - EMDR

Let’s begin to take a moment and stop the feeling of drowning.

Just for a moment, I want you to pause and let yourself begin to sense your feet on the ground. Wiggle your toes and even press your feet into the ground. You might notice a slight activation in your hamstrings and glutes.

As you begin to be with your feet, I now want you to track your breath. Try not to force or change your breath. I just want you to notice how your breath is showing up.

Moving your attention to the room you are in, I want you to begin to look around. Look side to side, up and down, and even behind you. What do you see? Now bring your attention to your feet, breath, and the room you are in. Let yourself settle and just be for a moment.

I’ll invite you to just notice what happened. What happened when you took a moment to ground and to be present? If it was uncomfortable, that is normal. If it was grounding, that is also normal.

The goal of this exercise was simply to help raise awareness of your thoughts and bring you into a more present state of mind and being. Anxiety therapy near me and anxiety counseling near me can help you work through whatever came up.

Let the empowering feeling of anxiety therapy take you from being dragged to moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions about EMDR in Ogden, Utah

How do I know if EMDR is working?

Great question! After you have moved through the first few phases of history taking and stabilization, attention will be directed to a negative image. Once an image has been discussed beliefs, emotions, and body sensations are explored. And thus, will begin the reprocessing phases. You will know if EMDR is working when a positive belief and statement have unfolded. This will let you know the issue is resolved.

Perk for all those homework haters. EMDR doesn’t come with homework in between sessions! Great news for people who thought homework was a drag, huh?

EMDR sessions are generally 60 to 90 minutes long. Every client is different in how they respond to the process and the session length. We will discuss together what feels right for your process. Some clients have also enjoyed intensives, where we spend three hours together working on a specific issue.
Yes! EMDR therapy is a specialty. It is an intervention that needs extensive training. To be considered an EMDR trained therapist, I had to undergo 40 hours of in-person training and consultation. Just to clarify, I am Certified in Brainspotting and trained in EMDR. Still, have questions about EMDR and if it is right for you?
