EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy in Denver and Boulder

Release the Past. Reclaim the Present.

When the Past Still Lives in Your Body

Maybe you’ve worked hard to move on from painful experiences—but no matter how much insight you have, something still lingers.
A panic that doesn’t make sense. A shame spiral that gets triggered too easily. A sense of being frozen, overwhelmed, or on edge, even in moments that should feel safe.

Trauma doesn’t live in our logical mind—it lives in our nervous system. That’s why talk therapy, while helpful, isn’t always enough to shift the deeper layers of distress. If you’ve reached a point where insight alone isn’t cutting it, EMDR can offer a different way forward.

You're Not Broken—Your System Is Trying to Protect You

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain and body reprocess traumatic or distressing memories so they no longer hold the same emotional charge.

You don’t need to relive everything to heal. You don’t need to power through your pain alone. You simply need the right support to help your nervous system understand:
“It’s over. I’m safe now.”

EMDR isn’t just for “big trauma.” It can help if you’ve experienced:

• Childhood emotional neglect or inconsistency

• Ongoing anxiety that feels stuck in your body

• Relationship wounds that keep showing up in your present

• Single-incident trauma like an accident, loss, or betrayal

• Medical trauma, performance anxiety, or fear-based patterns

• Self-worth issues that won’t budge, no matter how much you “work on yourself”

What If You Didn’t Have to Carry It All Anymore?

It’s easy to adapt to pain when it becomes familiar. But what would it be like to feel truly free—emotionally, mentally, and physically—from the weight of what’s been?

What if your body no longer flinched when your partner reached for you?
What if you could speak up at work without the inner tremble of shame?
What if rest felt safe again?

If there’s a part of you that believes healing like that is possible… you’re right. EMDR can help you move toward it.

How EMDR Works

EMDR helps the brain reprocess stuck or overwhelming memories by activating both hemispheres of the brain—often through eye movements, tapping, or gentle bilateral stimulation. This allows your system to metabolize past experiences, release the emotional charge, and integrate the memory without reliving it.

At Firefly Therapy Group, we tailor the EMDR process to each client. Our approach is relational, attachment-informed, and deeply respectful of your pace. We integrate EMDR with other modalities to support your emotional safety and readiness for this deeper work.

You’ll never be asked to “push through.” We prioritize building trust with you, resourcing your nervous system, and co-creating a sense of safety before any trauma processing begins.

EMDR Isn’t a Quick Fix—It’s a Pathway to Deep Healing

While EMDR often creates faster and more profound shifts than talk therapy alone, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a gentle, structured process that works best when supported by a strong therapeutic relationship.
In our work together, we’ll explore:

• Your attachment history and how it shapes your current relationships

• The internal beliefs that keep you stuck in fear, shame, or over-functioning

• The emotional memories your body is still holding onto

• The kind of life you want to feel safe living in

We’ll help you clear the old wiring—so you can build something new.
