Did you know 📣

Did you know that our brains can update old memories? That's right! We have the ability to literally change how a memory is stored in your brain!!

This process is called memory reconsolidation. Every time we recall a memory, it becomes flexible for a short window of time. That means the emotions, beliefs, and sensations tied to it can actually be shifted.

This is where EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) comes in. EMDR helps the brain access those memories and link them with healthier, more adaptive information. Instead of being stuck in the past, your brain gets the chance to re-store the memory in a way that no longer feels overwhelming.

In other words, the memory doesn’t disappear, but the pain attached to it can soften. Clients often say it feels like the sharp edges of the memory have finally been rounded off.

Science shows us that change is possible, right down to the way our brains hold onto experiences. That’s the power of reconsolidation and EMDR.

Healing Through Mind & Body

Meditation, grounding, and yoga are powerful tools for healing trauma. They help calm the nervous system, reconnect the body and mind, and build resilience.

At Carrie Graham Counseling LLC, we practice what we preach 😉. These photos from a recent yoga retreat show our team leaning into mindfulness, movement, and connection so we can show up more authentically for our clients.

I am deeply honored that my clients allow me to walk alongside them on their healing journeys. The privilege of sharing in their growth and resilience is never lost on me.

🌿 What is Ego State Therapy, and How Can It Help You Heal?

Ever feel like a part of you wants to move forward… but another part holds you back? Like there’s a younger version of you still stuck in the past, reacting to today’s stress with yesterday’s pain?

That’s where Ego State Therapy comes in.

Ego state therapy is a powerful and compassionate approach that helps us understand the different “parts” of ourselves, each shaped by experiences, needs, and beliefs. These parts (or “ego states”) can show up as inner critics, people pleasers, protectors, or wounded children, each doing their best to help, even when their strategies no longer serve us.

Through this therapy, we build awareness, connection, and healing between these parts so they can work with each other instead of against each other. It’s especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, emotional reactivity, and deep inner conflict.

Ego state therapy and other forms of parts work is a powerful stand alone therapy or in conjunction with EMDR. Email me today to get started!

What is EMDR Therapy and Could It Help You?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, grief, PTSD, and other emotional distress. It works by helping the brain reprocess stuck memories so you can move forward with more peace and less overwhelm.

At Carrie Graham Counseling, LLC, we believe in meeting you where you are with compassion, expertise, and effective tools for healing. We have three clinicians trained or certified in EMDR, along with therapists trained in other proven modalities like CBT, DBT, and IFS to meet your unique needs.

Virtual appointments available for your convenience
