San Antonio, Texas is a big city with a variety of things to do and see. Deeply impacted by the history and culture of its Hispanic population, there is still plenty of innovation here. When looking for a therapist, the idea of a specialist like an EMDR specialist, comes to mind. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
What is EMDR? :
EMDR is a complicated way of saying “let events from the past stop hurting you and let the memory still be present”. Events could mean something as big as a hurricane, house fire, or sexual abuse. It could also be any traumatic experience that was scary, upsetting, or overwhelming.
This could be a co-worker that targets you, a teacher that affected your self-esteem with cruel comments, a parent who might have made one negative statement with 99 other compliments. People might say these are some extreme examples, but the main point is that they all cause some level of hurt or turmoil.
WITNESSING SUCCESS:
My name is Cheryl Camarillo, LCSW and I am a therapist who uses cutting-edge therapy tools and training to help people work through traumatic events, address addictions, improve relationships, and change behaviors. The moment I first witnessed a movement toward healing by a veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), I was hooked, and I pondered EMDR training for about 6 months. I looked for more information and more direct proof of the positive benefits and became “all in”.
“All in” became cemented when I had to undergo a few sessions as part of my training. I was the one with a “teacher issue” and became very easily embarrassed to speak in front of groups of people. After several sessions, the heat rushing up and down my body, the red face, the twitching eye, and the feeling I couldn’t breathe is no longer an issue.
