Complex Trauma
Complex Trauma(s)
You may have survived just fine. But your body remembers.
Even if you don’t call it trauma, you may feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed by emotions that never had a safe place to land.
We use trauma-informed methods like EMDR, IFS, and psychodynamic exploration to help you gently unpack what’s been carried alone for too long.
What We Focus On:
Naming the experiences that shaped your nervous system and sense of self
Healing betrayal, emotional neglect, or spiritual trauma without reliving it
Exploring the internal “parts” that protect you or keep you silent
Building safety in your body and in relationships
This work is intentional and set a pace that feels safe to you.
You don’t have to do it alone.
EMDR Therapy
As part of the services offered at Liminal Psychotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy may be used when clinically appropriate and collaboratively agreed upon. EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy approach used to help individuals process and resolve traumatic memories and experiences that may be contributing to present-day distress.
Nature of EMDR Therapy
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones) to help the brain reprocess disturbing or unresolved experiences. This process can allow for the reduction of distressing emotional and physiological responses associated with past events, and help individuals gain new insights, clarity, and emotional resolution.
Potential Benefits
Reduced emotional intensity of traumatic or distressing memories
Improved emotional regulation and nervous system balance
Increased clarity and integration of past experiences
Greater sense of self-agency and internal safety
