EMDR FOR PARENTS

Parenting can be deeply meaningful—and incredibly demanding. You may feel overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected from the parent you want to be. Often, these struggles are not just about what is happening now, but about past experiences that get activated in parenting.

EMDR can help you heal so you respond with more calm, confidence, and connection.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with your nervous system to reduce the emotional intensity of memories that still affect you and may be impacting you today.

For parents, this may include:

  • Chronic stress, burnout, or overwhelm

  • Guilt, shame, or feeling like you are “not enough”

  • Trauma from parenting a child who spent time in the NICU or who has developmental differences

  • Trauma from fostering/working within a restrictive system

  • Birth or postpartum trauma

  • Childhood experiences showing up in parenting

You Deserve Support, Too

Supporting your children starts with supporting you. Healing your own experiences isn’t selfish—it’s one of the most meaningful ways to care for your family.

You don’t have to parent from survival mode. Healing is possible.
