EMDR therapy is a unique type of trauma therapy in that it involves a great deal of introspection, with additional guidance and support through the processing through specific memories with your therapist. It can loosen the emotional hold that traumatic memories have on you, releasing you from their negative, self-limiting beliefs also. Reprocessing those memories and storing them without all the collateral messaging can reduce the impact triggers can have on you.

Toxic messaging can cause hurt feelings, disappointment, fear, and stress. But even more concerning than the immediate harm from toxic messaging, is the long-term vulnerability it builds in girls who become vulnerable women.
