Trauma isn’t defined by how “big” an event was, but by its lasting impact. It is any difficult life experience that continues to cause distress and affects how you feel, function, or relate today.

Many people think they don’t have “big enough” trauma for EMDR. But EMDR isn’t about how extreme something was—it’s about whether it’s still affecting you. EMDR helps reduce the distress so you can respond from the present instead of the past.

Our early relationships shape how safe and connected we feel with others. When those experiences were inconsistent, overwhelming, or emotionally unavailable, it can show up later as anxiety, insecurity, or uncertainty in relationships. Through EMDR and attachment-focused work, we can gently explore these patterns, heal what was missed, and create new ways of relating that feel more connected, present, grounded, and whole.

Self-worth is about recognizing your value as a person, not just what you do or how others see you. It’s less about external achievements or approval and more about how you feel about yourself on the inside. Building self-worth means exploring your core beliefs, understanding what truly matters to you, and learning to treat yourself with acceptance and compassion, even when it feels hard or unfamiliar.
