Mindy Fox, LMFT

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist, and a licensed LMFT for 29 years. If you are dealing with things like irritability, not being able to turn your mind off, physical tension, feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, nightmares, brain fog, hypervigilance, unstable mood, depression/sadness, inattention, insomnia, lack of safety, low self-worth and emotional reactivity, EMDR and the flash technique could be the right thing for you. When I understand your symptoms, I can then understand how your nervous system is dysregulated. From there, we can decide what would be the most helpful to you.

If you have a lot of trauma, your nervous system is highly activated. In scary situations, we learn life-preserving behaviors, which sometimes continue even after the danger has passed. High arousal is useful in emergencies, but getting stuck there can lead to problems.

This can cause you to react to your environment in ways that no longer serve you. You can’t stop your reaction, even if you understand that it has now become an over-reaction. With EMDR and the Flash Technique, we calm the agitation and hypervigilance. You feel more at ease, allowing you to handle more and function at a higher level in daily life.

We can begin processing the memories. We start by identifying possible distressing memories and current situations that cause emotional distress. Clients conclude EMDR and Flash Technique therapy feeling empowered by the very experiences that were once so destructive. You can feel transformed and free.
