EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an advanced, internationally recognized therapeutic technique for treating trauma and lingering memories. EMDR helps the brain reorganize painful experiences, reducing their intensity and impact on daily life. In safe, guided sessions, a therapist uses bilateral nervous system stimulation to calm the body's defensive response and build new, healthier, and more resilient connections. This therapy helps alleviate symptoms without delving into the details of the traumatic event, relying on precise protocols that respect the client's readiness and emotional regulation. This service is typically for: those suffering from the psychological trauma of accidents, stressful medical experiences, or the loss of a loved one; those experiencing recurring or distressing painful memories; those with anxiety related to specific events; those with lingering emotional trauma from childhood; those who experience exaggerated reactions to certain situations (triggers); those with physical symptoms related to trauma (such as muscle tension or sleep disturbances); and those with high defensiveness that makes direct communication difficult.

A proven therapeutic approach that helps you achieve a deep state of relaxation and focused awareness, allowing the mind to be more receptive to positive change. In this safe and guided state, we work to reduce stress, reprogram unhelpful thought patterns, and promote healthy behaviors. The client does not lose consciousness during hypnosis but remains in a calm, alert state that allows access to the emotional roots of behavior and facilitates change from within. This service typically addresses: anxiety and chronic stress; sleep difficulties or insomnia; improved focus and inner peace; unwanted habits (such as emotional eating or procrastination); support in managing pain or stress-related physical challenges; boosting self-confidence and reducing self-criticism; mild fears and phobias; reducing overreaction to emotional stimuli; and supporting recovery from mild to moderate trauma.

In a human-centered profession, supervision is a crucial investment to ensure quality care for your clients and your own well-being. We are here to partner with you on your growth journey, transforming clinical challenges into opportunities for development and innovation.

What will you gain from the session?

These modules are not rigid frameworks, but rather flexible tools to be drawn upon to meet your clinical needs. Your approach may focus on a single module or encompass multiple modules, depending on the nature of your cases and your stage of professional development.

Clinical Analysis: Reviewing your session history and therapeutic journeys, exploring new perspectives, and confidently and empoweredly overcoming obstacles.

Skills Development: Working on skills such as case conceptualization, diagnosis, treatment planning and selecting appropriate interventions, and report/session note writing.

Role-Play: A safe space to experiment with new therapeutic techniques before using them with clients.

Discussing complex cases: We discuss ambiguous or difficult cases, aiming to broaden our understanding and provide practical steps for managing challenges (multiple disorders, suicidal ideation, severe denial, low motivation and readiness for improvement, etc.).

Emotional support for the therapist: We integrate the therapist's personal experience into sessions and provide a safe space to discuss feelings arising from the sessions (intersubjectivity), projections of the therapeutic relationship (countertransference), and address emotional exhaustion (compassion fatigue).

Resources and tools: We suggest readings or tools that may be helpful, depending on your needs, to support your cognitive growth.
