Empowered Healing: An EMDR Retreat
Led by Neeka Stanley, LICSW
April 5th and 6th, 9am-2pm
Are you seeking more joy and peace in your life?
Are there events from your past that are holding you back?
Are you ready to heal the old wounds to make room for new life?
Do you want to support your nervous system in coping with current, ongoing stress?
If you are answering “YES!” then please join us for a time of trauma work and practicing ways to soothe our nervous systems.
The retreat has 3 main components:
Gain knowledge about the way trauma is living in your body and recognize how it is showing up in your personal and professional life.
Develop new skills and practices to tune in to your body and support your nervous system in creating and returning to a place of calm.
Participate in the powerful healing treatment modality, EMDR. This will be offered in a group setting, but everyone is doing their own individual work. You will not be sharing or hearing about other people’s traumas, but will be together in a supportive environment to heal those traumas.
Who is this Retreat For?
This retreat is ideal for those dealing with overt traumas, such as:
Single Incident Traumas: Car accidents, sexual assault, natural disasters, violent attacks
Repeated Trauma: Ongoing abuse, bullying, sexual harassment, incarceration
Ongoing Stressors: Living in marginalized communities, undergoing cancer or fertility treatments, working in toxic environments
Professional Trauma: First responders, healthcare workers, therapists, teachers
Political Violence: Living through political upheaval or conflict
Are there reasons I shouldn’t come to the retreat?
Please consider individual therapy if you have an active substance abuse disorder, severe dissociation, psychosis, or bipolar disorder, ongoing significant suicidal or homicidal thoughts or significant cognitive impairment. Individual therapy may be a better fit if you’re struggling with daily functioning, lack adequate social support, or are unable to safely process strong emotions.
If you’re involved in any legal proceedings related to the trauma you wish to address, please check with your attorney first.
If you have medical conditions (e.g., seizures, neurological conditions, pregnancy) or are taking benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin), consult with your physician beforehand.
Investment: $300
