What is EMDR?
EMDR is a therapy that helps people heal from upsetting or traumatic memories. It uses eye movements or tapping while thinking about a hard memory, which helps the brain process it in a healthier way so it feels less distressing over time.
What is Interpersonal Psychotherapy?
IPT is a therapy that focuses on your relationships and how you connect with people. It helps with depression by working through things like grief, big life changes, or conflicts with others so you can feel better and more supported.
What is Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
DBT is a therapy that teaches skills to manage big emotions, handle stress without making things worse, communicate better with others, and be more present in the moment. It combines accepting yourself as you are while also working on making positive changes.
What is Trauma-Informed Care?
Trauma-informed care is like walking through a forest trail knowing others have been hurt by hidden thorns before. It means moving with care, understanding that people carry wounds we can’t always see, and creating spaces where they feel safe, respected, and in control of their own healing.
Which Therapy is Right for Me?
Different therapies offer different tools, and what feels helpful often depends on what you’re going through, your goals, and what feels safe and meaningful to you. ✨ Some questions to consider: Do I want to focus on changing my thoughts and behaviours (CBT)? Do I want to work on my relationships and social connections (IPT)? Do I need skills to manage intense emotions and build a life worth living (DBT)? Do I want to process painful memories in a different, deeper way (EMDR)?
