Brainspotting and EMDR

After realising that my memory from childhood had been preventing me from getting the most of my life, I approached SCC and Angie for help. Angie recommended me to try out the therapeutic approaches of Brainspotting and EMDR.

Every session, we would work on a piece of unpleasant memory from my childhood. During the sessions, Angie would work on my visual field, and I would focus on sensations of my body. Surprisingly, the emotions induced could sometimes be rather strong, to the extent that I burst into tears a couple of times throughout our sessions. I often felt much lighter after the Brainspotting and EMDR session, not only due to relishing the unpleasant emotions but more importantly, rewiring the memories. I vividly remember that after one session, the initially grey and gloomy images of a piece of my memory were transformed into colourful and blissful ones. I also managed to remember more joyful details which I initially thought were nonexistent.

These changes have greatly helped me to re-examine my relationship with my family of origin, to send love to the younger Me, and to move on in my life with more self-love and confidence. I sincerely thank Angie for being such a knowledgeable teacher, a strong source of support and a trustworthy partner in my journey of self-transformation.
