INtensive EMDR Therapy | Connecticut
You’ve talked it through.
Learned the skills.
Now you’re ready to go deeper.
Therapy for perfectionists, people pleasers, & the responsible ones who are ready to go beyond talking and experience full, embodied healing.
From the outside, you look like you’re managing it all
But most people don’t see:
The jaw you’re constantly clenching
The tightness in your chest despite your smile
A mind with 26 tabs open at all times
The way you run on imposter syndrome
The background chatter of what-ifs and should-haves
A stomach that braces for criticism before anyone has even spoken
How small moments can send your thoughts spiraling
You’ve learned how to cope.
You’ve learned how to explain why you feel the way you do.
And for a long time, that was enough.
Then something happened.
Maybe…
the pressure at work finally tipped the scale.
the thing you’d been managing became impossible to handle.
you were caught off guard and sent spiraling.
that old thing resurfaced with a vengeance.
your nervous system just hit its limit.
The things that used to help stopped working.
The masking takes more energy than you have.
The anxiety shows up faster. Louder. Harder to hide.
People can see it now even when you’re trying really hard to keep pushing through.
Something needs to change.
You find yourself longing for:
A brain that can actually turn off
Relief that doesn’t require constant self-monitoring
Shoulders that can soften instead of stay braced
A body that isn’t anticipating the shoe to drop
Rest that actually feels restorative
Space to respond instead of react
It’s easy to get stuck in loops, trying to out-logic an anxious, overwhelmed, burned-out nervous system.
If it were as simple as changing your thoughts, you would have that mastered by now.
You’ve succeeded at gaining insight, understanding patterns, and learning skills which are no small things. It’s just that talk and insight alone don’t always reach what lives deeper in the body.
That’s where this work begins.
You can’t out-think your body
Hi, I’m Laura.
You are in the right place if you have done alot of healing work and you’re tired of talking about it without feeling different.
I use EMDR and parts work to help your mind and body have a different kind of conversation, one that allows deep, embodied change.
All the healing work you’ve already done matters here. We just use it differently.
This approach helps us work directly with what’s stored beneath insight so your body can update to what your mind already knows.
For some people, this work unfolds best in steady weekly therapy.
For others, EMDR intensives (meeting for longer chunks of time) or a hybrid approach allows us to go deeper, faster, and with more resolution.
There’s no one “right” way. We decide together what fits your nervous system, your life, and your capacity.
