When Change Happens Sooner Than Expected: Working with First Responders
Part 3

Michelle McIntyre reflects on the powerful shifts she has witnessed with clients while using EMDR.

Compared to traditional talk therapy or CBT, EMDR often brings relief more quickly. Clients move from heavy emotions to a sense of lightness. Their posture, their
expression, even their energy begins to change, at times within just one or two
sessions!

For people still showing up to work and life while carrying so much, these moments of transformation matter.

Healing Without Having to Tell the Whole Story: Working with First Responders
Part Two

Many clients come to therapy worried they will have to relive and retell every traumatic detail of their experience. Dr. Amanda Bell and associate, Michelle McIntyre, talk about how EMDR allows for healing to occur without clients needing to share every detail.

Clients often feel relief as they begin to process their trauma without having to explain the full weight of what they carry. As the work unfolds, distressing images lose their intensity, and difficult memories become less present.

Through natural associations, healing deepens, and connections begin to form across different parts of life.

10/08/2025

Dr Amanda Bell and associate, Michelle McIntyre, talk about how EMDR can help First Responders by addressing not only the current symptoms, but the build-up of past experiences.

Each unprocessed event adds kindling to a potential future fire. By doing deeper work, even after sleep improves or anxiety eases, clients strengthen
their ability to face future stress without old wounds being reactivated.

It’s about more than feeling better now. It’s about staying grounded when the next crisis comes.

🛶⛺🌳🌲 Surrounded by lakes, forests, and beautiful fall weather several of our outdoorsy associates came together for an outdoor retreat.

This was a special opportunity to paddle long distances and trek with our canoes and gear across many kms. It strengthened our teamwork while we spent time to relax in nature, deepening our connections with one another beyond our day to day clinical work together.

When Grief Is Complicated by Guilt

Clinician, Diane Biggs, speaks to Dr Amanda Bell about the very real trauma parents carry, after the loss of a child.

Many parents come to therapy carrying guilt, fear, and heartbreak. They worry they
caused the illness. They replay the sound of the machines. They question whether they missed something that could have saved their child.

Through EMDR, we help parents process the moments that get stuck, the ones their mind can’t file away, so they can begin to breathe again and live without the constant weight of “what if.”

You don’t have to carry it alone.

How Children Heal with EMDR Therapy

When children carry the weight of loss and self-blame, the impact can be deep. With EMDR therapy, we often see quick and incredible change.

Dr. Amanda Bell and Diane Biggs talk about the powerful transformation of a child moving from grief to healing, and eventually, back to just being a kid.

EMDR helps clear the path for children to reconnect with life, joy, and build resilience.
