Austin EMDR and Trauma Therapy

Austin Therapists Specializing in EMDR and Trauma Therapy

Healing Trauma and Restoring Emotional Well-Being

At Austin Family Counseling (AFC), we are committed to helping clients heal from trauma and restore emotional balance. Trauma can arise from a single event—such as a car accident, natural disaster, or combat experience—or from ongoing stress, like growing up in an abusive environment, enduring bullying, or living with a chronic illness. Whether your trauma is recent or rooted in childhood, its effects can manifest in many ways, including:

• Distressing emotions, flashbacks, or intrusive thoughts
• Feelings of powerlessness, worthlessness, or shame
• Avoidance of people, places, or situations that trigger painful memories
• Difficulty forming or maintaining close relationships

No matter how trauma has impacted your life, healing is possible, and we’re here to walk alongside you on your journey toward recovery.

Certified EMDR Therapists, trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a proven method for addressing the lasting effects of trauma.

How EMDR Therapy Can Help

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most well-researched therapies for treating trauma. EMDR helps the brain process and heal from traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact over time.

What to Expect with EMDR Therapy:

• EMDR involves guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation to help you reprocess difficult memories and reduce emotional distress.
• Your therapist will support you in processing past experiences in a safe, supportive environment, helping you regain emotional balance.
• Over time, EMDR can help ease symptoms like flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and emotional overwhelm, promoting long-term healing and growth.

Research shows that EMDR can accelerate the healing process, allowing for lasting emotional relief and improved resilience.
