EMDR with Kayla

Feeling Stuck in EMDR? Let’s Talk About Under-Accessing. 🧠✨

Ever had a client who struggles to connect with a traumatic memory during EMDR? They might be under-accessing—when emotions, body sensations, or key details feel “blocked” in processing. 🚧

🔹 Why does this happen?
✔️ Dissociation or numbing as a defense mechanism
✔️ Over-intellectualizing instead of feeling
✔️ Cognitive avoidance of distressing memories
✔️ Medication or nervous system shutdown

💡 What helps? Try somatic interventions, titration, or cognitive interweaves to deepen emotional access and unlock healing.

✨ 3 Things You Need to Say PEACE OUT ✌️ to if You Want to Thrive with ADHD & Rejection Sensitivity ✨

1️⃣ 🚫 Overanalyzing Every Interaction
Not every “K.” text means someone is mad. Not every delayed response means you upset them. Your brain may be screaming rejection, but most of the time? It’s just life.

2️⃣ 🚫 Trying to “Earn” Rest
You don’t have to finish the list, respond to every message, or prove your worth before you rest. Your brain runs on dopamine, not guilt. Recharge first—focus will follow.

3️⃣ 🚫 Holding Yourself to an Impossible Standard
Perfectionism is just fear in disguise. You don’t need to be the best therapist, the most productive, or the perfect friend to be enough. You’re already enough.

✨ Let’s release the guilt, the overthinking, and the constant fear of “not doing enough.” Save this as a reminder & drop a ‘WAITLIST’ if you’re ready to let go.

To the ADHD parent: You can be both exhausted and amazed. 💛

Parenting with ADHD isn’t always easy, but it’s filled with moments of wonder and resilience. Celebrate the duality—you’re doing better than you think.
