Traditional EMDR

Traditional EMDR

You've Done The Work. You Understand The Patterns. And Yet - They're Still There.

What makes EMDR Different?

If you've been in therapy before, you already know how to understand yourself. You can name the pattern. You can trace the origin. You can explain, with some accuracy, why you are the way you are.

EMDR works somewhere else.

It reaches the layer beneath the narrative - where the nervous system still carries the experience, even after the mind has made sense of it. The reprocessing happens there, without needing to speak to the detail of the experience. And then the symptoms and patterns loosens, because the thing underneath it has shifted.

    Fifty mothers. Fifty stories of matrescence—the profound journey of becoming a mother.  

    I met Sarah from Muka Portraits, the creator of The Matrescence Project about two years ago, when a mutual friend connected us via socials. At the time the project was in its infancy, but as soon as I spoke with Sarah about her vision a fire in my belly was lit, and I knew that I needed to be a part of this very important and necessary piece of work. I’m thrilled to share that last month The Matrescence Project was launched into the world.
