EMDR for Athletes

Working with athletes and adventures to move past their past accidents and injuries. You don't have to remain stuck because of psychological trauma. You may possibly get what it’s like to be enjoying your outdoor love and suddenly finding yourself unexpectedly in a life-threatening situation. After this accident, I found myself initially in shock, though my body was basically uninjured. Slowly as time past, more signs of trauma entered into my mind. I was avoiding water. Getting angry very quickly . I had less energy at times, plus sleep was difficult or not restful. Sometimes I would have dreams/nightmares about water. Overtime, my hands and feet started clenching often before I’d realize that the sound of water was somewhere nearby activating my nervous system into a “oh, shit here we go again” mode. Six months passed before I began EMDR treatment. Because I had an existing relationship with a therapist, when I returned to city-life, we were able to move directly into targeting the event. I found relief from many of my symptoms after just a few sessions. I didn’t complete the treatment because I was moving and it was some years before I was able to work with an EMDR trained therapist again. Now I have and I have more energy, relief, and I am often found standing in Colorado’s rivers and streams fly-fishing.
