Vance Removes his Anger

“In one word, Awesome! Sessions with Deborah are uplifting.  She helps me to want to strive for good things in my life.”  Vance

The Basics

Vance worked with Deborah 11 years ago and recently reconnected with her professionally to work through challenges with anger and depression. Talking about issues in his life is difficult. Vance works with Deborah because she is easy to talk to and her EMDR expertise has shown amazing results in his life. His main challenge was to minimize the pain associated with a recent break up, past abuse and current financial challenges.

Action

Deborah implemented an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) regimen for Vance; a technique that is a comprehensive, integrative psychotherapy approach. It contains elements of several effective psychotherapies in structured protocols that are designed to maximize treatment effects. These include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centered therapies.

Results

The first session quickly brought to the surface abuse experiences from the past. With the EMDR approach, these issues come up, are discussed without additional trauma and released as new, more positive, awareness is anchored in place.

Vance describes a new outlook surrounding the abuse memories as a child. He no longer feels shame or blame. Instead these feelings have been replaced with recognition of his worth as a confident man.

Deborah’s work with Vance has brought him in touch with a Higher Power. He is now able to see things in a more positive light and his connection with friends and family has become even stronger.

Deborah utilized EMDR, talk therapy and anger management/releasing strategies when working with Vance.

Value received from sessions with Deborah: look at the positive things in life, recognition of self worth, increase coping mechanisms and no more shame or blame from the past.
