EMDR for Relationship Healing

Are you struggling with the effects of relationship patterns?

Right now, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Emotional wounds from past or current relationship experiences
  • Difficulty trusting or being vulnerable with others
  • Recurring patterns in relationships that cause distress
  • Intense emotional reactions that seem disproportionate to current situations
  • Avoidance of intimacy or commitment due to fear of being hurt
  • Persistent negative beliefs about yourself in relation to others
  • Challenges communicating needs or setting boundaries effectively

You've started to recognize how relationship patterns are impacting your life:

  • Connections with others are limited by fear or protective behaviors
  • Similar painful dynamics seem to repeat across different relationships
  • Your authentic self remains hidden behind defensive walls
  • Conflicts escalate quickly as past hurts are triggered
  • You oscillate between clinging to relationships and pushing others away
  • Current relationships are affected by unresolved pain from past ones
  • Traditional relationship advice doesn’t address your deeper emotional reactions

You’re wondering…

  • Why do I keep experiencing the same painful patterns in relationships?
  • Could my current relationship struggles be connected to earlier experiences?
  • How does EMDR address relationship issues differently than couples therapy?
  • Will processing past relationship wounds actually change my current patterns?
  • Can EMDR help me while I’m still in a relationship, or is it mainly for healing after breakups?
  • How do childhood experiences affect my adult relationships?
  • Is it possible to change deeply ingrained relationship patterns?

You’re longing for…

  • The ability to form secure, trusting connections with others.
  • Freedom from reactive patterns that damage relationships.
  • Confidence in expressing your needs and setting healthy boundaries.
  • Resilience when facing relationship challenges.
  • Understanding of your triggers and emotional responses.
  • The capacity for genuine intimacy without overwhelming fear.
  • Relationships that support your growth rather than repeating old wounds.

How we can help you.

At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that relationship patterns are often shaped by early attachment experiences and significant relationships throughout life. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that current relationship difficulties frequently have roots in earlier experiences where trust was broken, needs were unmet, or attachment bonds were disrupted.

What you’re longing for is possible.

Our experienced EMDR therapists utilize this powerful approach to address both current relationship challenges and their historical origins. Through targeted therapeutic interventions, clients typically experience:
