EMDR & Hypnotherapy for Lasting Change
Rewire Your Brain & Step Into Your Purpose
Have you ever felt like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel of old thoughts, patterns or self-doubt? That nagging “crazy” inner voice that whispers, “What was I thinking?” Or “How could I be so stupid?” It’s not about just forgetting the past, but truly letting go of those old patterns of belief and negative talk that hold you back. I’m here to tell you: there is immense hope!
It means learning to rewrite that inner script entirely, silencing the voice that says you should’ve known better. This shift, though deep and sometimes daunting, is entirely possible. For me, EMDR therapy and hypnotherapy felt as quick and effective as flipping a switch. I’m not a counselor, therapist, or doctor—just someone whose past kept triggering the same painful patterns, holding me back from living out my purpose. After a few defining moments, I found myself thinking about Red’s quote from The Shawshank Redemption: “Get busy livin’, or get busy dyin’.” I chose to get busy healing—and everything changed.
Truly letting go
True letting go means acknowledging what happened without carrying blame that was never yours. Both EMDR and Hypnotherapy are awesome at guiding your brain to make these helpful changes.
EMDR
What it is in a nutshell
EMDR helps your brain sort through upsetting memories, kind of like tidying up a messy filing cabinet. It helps those memories stop feeling so heavy, creating new, more positive pathways.
Hypnotherapy
Quick & Simple
Sometimes, our past experiences – big or small, from childhood hurts to combat echoes – unknowingly twist what we believe about ourselves.
I know, because I’ve been there.
This blog is my personal journey, sharing how EMDR therapy was incredibly effective in helping me release those subconscious reactions, significant memories, and flashbacks that kept me stuck. What I’ve learned is that EMDR affects everyone differently, and my experience highlights its power in processing those lingering emotional wounds.
No matter what brought you here, you’re not alone. Thousands are finding a way to quiet the past with EMDR and hypnotherapy. It’s never too late to rewire your brain, change how you think and talk to yourself, and open the door to a bright future filled with purpose and real connections.
Remember what Robin Williams told Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting… “it’s not your fault.” You were meant to become the person you were born to be. You can get rid of those “demons” from your past and move forward, so never lose hope!

Why EMDR Therapy?
Because Crazy Doesn’t Work.
For years, I battled:
- Insecurity and self-doubt rooted in past experiences
- Repeated negative patterns that weren’t serving me
- Old beliefs that weren’t even true
- Negative chatter in my head
- Being drawn personally and professionally to narcissists
- The exhausting desire to change others
EMDR therapy was my breakthrough for releasing past burdens and clearing out emotional clutter. It helped me move past those painful memories and flashbacks, creating a new, quiet space within. If you’ve tried conventional counseling without seeing the shifts you long for, especially with persistent emotional echoes from the past, I’m writing this blog for you.

Ultimate Joy: My Journey to Releasing Patterns that Don’t Serve Me
Because Crazy Doesn’t Work.
or HypnotherapyCurious about what happens in an EMDR session and how it actually works to break old patterns? I hope my personal EMDR journal entries will help explain it. For me, it’s like seeing my old patterns through a window, looking back. I’m actively releasing my past, and while it isn’t always easy, it’s totally doable if you’re ready for it!
It’s important to remember that EMDR affects everyone differently. I’m a wildly creative, visual thinker, so your mind might not give you the same vivid details or extraordinary visuals that mine does. But that’s okay!
Every EMDR session is unique, depending on how your unconscious mind shows up. Sometimes, for me, visuals flow one after another until several “me’s” from various ages appear all at once. It’s powerful. All of these “me’s” from the past are now ready to live a fuller, richer life.
So, if you’re ready to join me on this healing journey to explore how EMDR or Hypnotherapy can work for you… allons-y! (Let’s go!)
