Finding Balance Through EMDR and DBT: Online Therapy for Women with Big Emotions
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by intense emotions? Do cycles of anxiety, depression, or unresolved pain leave you feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward? For many women, navigating "big emotions" can be challenging, especially when they stem from past trauma, fear of abandonment, or difficulty managing day-to-day stressors.
At Brave Soul Therapy, Katherine Williams, LCSW, offers a safe and supportive space for women in California to explore their emotions, heal from past wounds, and develop effective strategies for managing intense feelings. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and DBT, Katherine helps clients build resilience and reclaim their sense of peace and purpose.
How EMDR and DBT Work Together to Support Emotional Balance
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are powerful therapeutic tools that complement each other in addressing emotional dysregulation and trauma. Here’s how they can help:
Healing Past Trauma with EMDR
EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps clients reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity. For women whose "big emotions" are tied to past experiences of abandonment, fear, or loss, EMDR can be life-changing. Through this structured approach, Katherine guides clients in safely revisiting and reprocessing these memories, allowing them to gain freedom from their emotional grip.Building Emotional Regulation Skills with DBT
DBT provides practical skills for managing intense emotions in the present moment. Katherine incorporates DBT techniques such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help clients regain control during overwhelming moments. These tools not only address current challenges but also empower clients to create healthier relationships and build self-confidence.
By integrating EMDR and DBT, Katherine helps clients heal from the past while equipping them with the skills to navigate the present. This dual approach fosters lasting emotional balance and resilience.
