EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has become one of the most respected and effective trauma-healing approaches used today, and for good reason. For many women, trauma isn’t stored as a story. It’s stored in the body. It shows up in nervous-system reactions, emotional patterns, self-doubt, fears, and old survival strategies you learned long before you had the words to describe them.

Reparenting yourself isn’t about blaming your parents or reliving your entire childhood. It’s about learning how to care for the parts of you that didn’t get what they needed back then, and giving those parts compassion, patience, and the love they deserve now.
