It's time for the question of the week. What is EMDR and how does it work?

Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized type of trauma therapy that uses Bilateral Stimulus (BLS) to help clients reprocess stuck, or traumatic, memories and update their cognitive belief systems.

How it works is by using alternating left and right movements, the BLS, your therapist will take you through a series of steps and direct you through a reprocessing session. This includes different phases in the EMDR protocol. Your therapist may use different types of BLS depending on individual factors- most commonly used are eye movements, tapping, "buzzies" and light bars.

EMDR is a specialized therapy that is very powerful and that should not be done alone, but with the guidance of a trained and licensed professional.

If you want to submit a question of the week, you can submit directly to me at tynebuchy@hotmail.com; please write "question of the week" in the email headline.

A great opportunity for those who are living with chronic illness and struggle with affordability. The chance to work with a Masters Level Clinical Counsellor who specializes in chronic illness and recovery, Amy brings wonderful compassion, insight and skill to her work. Please share with anyone who you feel could benefit. 🙏 Core Connections Counselling
Tyne Buchy Registered Counsellor

I have a new offering for those living with Complex Chronic Illness!

I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor in Vernon (meaning most benefits packages will cover me and I offer direct billing) and I want to offer an opportunity to the chronic illness community.

If you suffer from ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, EDS, Lyme, SALD, Long COVID, or other related complex chronic conditions, this may be for you!

I have noticed in my over 10 years as a counsellor that financial costs are always a struggle to accessing quality services. And today's inflation and economic situation is making this worse, particularly for people with disabilities.

I would like to offer small group counselling services so that the cost to access counselling can be significantly discounted (more than 50% discount).

Small group counselling can be an incredible, transformational experience. In my experience of facilitating counselling groups in the past I have seen the significant and powerful benefits they can offer people.

Build community, garner support, access resources, explore relevant topics specific to your needs, and feel like you are not alone in your healing journey!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at amy@coreconnectionscounselling.com or phone me at 249-222-0301.

This week the question was " Do therapists have their own therapists and what do we do for self care?"

Many of us do have our own therapists, and just like everyone else we have histories and experiences that we need to process and work through. This helps us show up to the room as the best version of ourselves so we can help you and build meaningful and safe relationships.

Self care looks different for everyone and can even look different from day to day. What you need today version tomorrow may be different and thats okay. Find things that fill your capacity, self care shouldn't drain you.

If you have a question you want answered by me or my team, submit your questions directly to me via email tynebuchy@hotmail.com and watch to see if your question shows up!

Who said neuroscience has to be hard.
Step one: Breathe- longer out-breath than in-breath
Step two: ground and find sensory experiences
Step three: use your thinking brain, problem solve, use language, etc.

Emotional safety is often invisible until it’s missing. It’s the quiet sense that you’re allowed to be real — not perfect, not easy, just honest.

If you’ve been noticing yourself holding back, overthinking, or feeling guarded in certain spaces, nothing is wrong with you. Your system may be responding to a lack of safety, not a lack of strength💜

If you’re curious to explore this more or would like support in building safer relationships (with others or yourself), you’re always welcome to learn more or book a session through the link in our bio.

You deserve to feel safe where you show up.

Book Club Highlight! "Power- Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse" by Shahida Arabi.

Why I love recommending this book?

Arabi does a great job of making the information accessible. She has a lot of experience and research background in this area, making her knowledgeable and reliable.

She really covers the 20 tactics of psychologically abusive relationships in great detail, highlighting how they different from poor communication and how they are used to shift accountability, confuse and erode the victim.

She teaches about the trauma bonding cycle and the neurochemicals involved (I am going to highlight this coming up). It is more than just willpower or lack there of.

The final chapters about recovery and reclaiming yourself and your life- reclaiming your power! She has a strong finish with tangible recommendations.

Call-outs for the book

Some people report the tone to be intense. She has her perspective on narcissism and narcissistic abuse, that may not fit for everyone. If it isn't a fit for you, don't worry, there are plenty of other good reads coming up.

Some of the content relays stories of abuse and for some people that may feel upsetting. As always, be mindful of your needs and what feels best for you. This is a very upsetting topic for some people, especially those who recognize their journey in the pages of the book. If you're not in a space to read it, that's okay.

I get a lot of questions about what books I recommend for educational purposes, especially on narcissistic abuse recovery. The book Power by Arabi is one of my first recommendations. She does a great job of explaining narcissism, the abuse cycle and the different tactics used in psychologically abusive relationships.
