SE: Somatic Experiencing
🌿 Titration 🌊
Titration means taking things slowly—experiencing a small piece of activation at a time. By staying within your window of tolerance, your system learns safety instead of overwhelm. Healing happens most effectively when it’s gentle; small, digestible moments of awareness build long-term capacity for calm.
✨ Practice: Think of a mildly stressful memory. Notice what happens in your body for a few seconds, then look around the room and name five neutral or pleasant things you see. Come back to calm.

EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
🌿 Cognitive Interweave 💭
Sometimes memories get “stuck” because a new, adaptive belief hasn’t yet taken hold. In EMDR, a Cognitive Interweave introduces new insight or meaning to help processing move forward.
This post explores Cognitive Interweaves with compassion and curiosity.
✨ Practice: Reflect on a belief you’d like to strengthen (for example, “I am safe now”). Speak it gently to yourself while noticing your breath.

✨ You don’t have to do this alone.
Sometimes our days bring a quiet ache — that mix of exhaustion, pressure, and the wish for a reset before the week begins. 🕊️
At Dragonfly Health & Wellness, we hold space for that.
Whether you’re seeking skills to manage overwhelm (DBT), healing from trauma (EMDR, NARM, or SE), or deepening your self-understanding (IFS and EFT)… your journey is welcome here. 💫
Healing isn’t about being fixed — it’s about being seen, supported, and reconnected to your own wisdom. 🌸

IFS: Internal Family Systems
🌿 Protectors and Exiles 🛡️
IFS teaches that our Protectors work hard to keep us safe—often by managing, avoiding, or numbing pain. Beneath them are Exiles, the tender parts carrying hurt or loneliness. When Protectors realize we can hold those feelings with care, they begin to relax, allowing our inner system to reconnect.
✨ Practice: Take a breath and thank one of your protective parts for how hard it’s been working. You don’t have to let it go—just let it rest for a moment.

NARM: NeuroAffective Relational Model
🌿 Connection and Disconnection 🤝
In NARM, we explore how connection and disconnection shape our sense of safety and belonging. Early patterns of disconnection often arise as protective responses to pain. By recognizing these patterns, we begin to restore authentic connection—with ourselves and others.
✨ Practice: Take a quiet moment to notice when you feel most connected in your day and when you tend to pull away. Gently ask, “What might my system be protecting right now?”

SE: Somatic Experiencing
🌿 Pendulation ⚖️
Pendulation is the natural rhythm of moving between activation and rest—between discomfort and ease. In SE, we gently guide this rhythm so the body learns it can move through stress and return to calm. Over time, this teaches the nervous system that distress isn’t dangerous—it’s temporary, and the body knows how to recover.
✨ Practice: Notice a tense area of your body, then find a place that feels more relaxed. Gently shift your attention between the two, like waves moving in and out.

EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
🌿 Safe/Calm Place 🌊
Before reprocessing begins, EMDR strengthens your inner resources. Creating a Safe or Calm Place gives your nervous system an anchor when distress arises.
This post explores the Safe Place with compassion and curiosity.
✨ Practice: Imagine a place that feels peaceful and secure—add colors, sounds, and sensations. When stress spikes, revisit this inner space.

IFS: Internal Family Systems
🌿 Meeting Our Inner Parts 🧩
In IFS, every part of us has a reason for being—it’s never random. Even the parts that feel “too much” or “not enough” once protected us from pain. When we meet these parts with curiosity instead of criticism, they begin to soften and trust our Self energy. Healing happens through relationship—with ourselves.
✨ Practice: When you feel a strong emotion today, pause and say to yourself, “I notice this part.” Let that acknowledgment be the first step toward connection.
