Trauma-Informed Therapy

Trauma is a word with a lot of meaning behind it. When we say someone has experienced trauma, most often the person will deny it. “My problems aren’t that big.” However, trauma isn’t exclusive to those who have been through wars. We view trauma as any adverse experience that left you with a belief about yourself that is inherently untrue and inherently painful. It is also important to note that while trauma happens on the individual level, it also can happen on a societal or even global scale. Oppression can often lead to traumatic experiences for minority communities. At Greenbrier Counseling, all levels of trauma are considered when looking at an individual client holistically.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a unique modality specifically designed to remedy trauma histories. It can be used to address numerous issues and is even helpful alongside other therapy modalities. EMDR practitioners utilize bilateral stimulation (ex. eye movements) to aid clients in processing unresolved memories from adverse experiences.
