Integrating EMDR, Flash, and IFS

I tailor therapy to your specific needs, using EMDR, Flash, and IFS in an integrated way to help you heal safely and effectively. Here’s generally how the process works:

Clarify your goals: Identify what you want to change, such as thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or physical sensations.

Explore triggers: Understand what present circumstances spark these reactions.

Connect to the past: Identify memories, relationships, or experiences that may contribute to your current reactions.

Target healing: Choose the best approach for each situation. This may be EMDR, Flash, IFS, or a combination.

Do the work: Process and integrate these experiences, learning from them.

Reassess and repeat: Check progress and adjust focus as needed.

IFS helps us explore and understand protective parts of your personality, revealing their positive intentions and reducing internal conflict. Once these parts feel seen and understood, EMDR and Flash can proceed more effectively. EMDR helps you make sense of and integrate difficult memories, often leading to new insights and lasting change. Flash provides a gentle, efficient way to process challenging memories without becoming overwhelmed, and can also prepare you for deeper EMDR work.

Together, these approaches allow therapy to be flexible, safe, and tailored to your needs. You are never required to feel, believe, or act in ways you’re not ready for. Therapy builds your capacity to see what’s there, make choices that feel right for you, and honor all parts of yourself. Many clients describe this process as transformative, empowering, and deeply validating.
