Stonewalling, or withdrawing or shutting down, may be one of the most common horsemen in the apocalypse. Silence may seem benign, it may seem calm on the outside, but what it’s actually doing is eroding intimacy, leaving conflict unresolved and creating further disconnect.

As a therapist who has walked alongside countless individuals struggling with the aftermath of trauma, I’ve seen firsthand how Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can hijack a person’s life. So, how does this seemingly unconventional therapy (EMDR) work to alleviate the profound distress of PTSD?

Have you ever felt like your anger is bad – that perhaps it’s scary or unacceptable? Most people tend to vilify anger and retreat from that emotion. However, in Internal Family Systems therapy, anger is not seen as “bad” or the “enemy” but merely a part of you that wants to protect you. An IFS therapist will help you get to know the part better and learn how you can embrace it instead of letting run amok inside of you.

Among the most highly effective and evidence-based approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. While both share the overarching goal of alleviating distress and enhancing mental well-being, their underlying principles, core techniques, and therapeutic processes diverge significantly. Understanding these differences is key to determining which path might be most suitable for your unique healing journey.

Have you found yourself or your spouse using phrases like “you never listen” or “you always forget”? Two of the most toxic phrases in a relationship “you never” and “you always” because these critical words undermine your warmth and love in marriage. John and Julie Gottman posit that there are four “horsemen” of the apocalypse that can rear their ugly heads in marriage, and when they do, spouses would be wise to pay attention in order that these horsemen not decimate a marriage.

To understand how EMDR therapy works for complex trauma, we must first grasp its underlying theory: the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model. This model posits that the brain naturally processes information and moves towards mental health. When a traumatic event occurs, particularly repeated ones, this natural processing system can get overwhelmed, and the memories become “stuck” or maladaptively stored.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a highly structured approach to treating trauma and other distressing life experiences. It works by helping the brain process “stuck” memories in a way similar to how the brain processes information during REM sleep. The therapy follows eight distinct phases, guiding the client through a systematic process of healing.

Most people would assume it’s communication – or lack thereof, but actually, researchers John and Julie Gottman found that contempt was the most destructive force in a marriage. They found that this trait in marriages was the most toxic and the biggest predictor of impending divorce.

Sometimes a fight with your partner can feel like the end of the world. You may find yourself wondering, “why does my reaction feel outsized?” or “why am I so triggered to shut down?” These are questions that can be addressed in couples therapy, but that may also warrant some EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy intervention.
