Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means we remember differently—with softness, with distance, with less pain in the body and more breath in the chest. If part of you is holding on, still in survival mode, still replaying stories that were never yours to carry—I want you to know: that part deserves compassion, not shame. EMDR isn’t a quick fix. But it is a powerful tool that, in the right hands, with care and patience, can change the way you live in your body and relate to your past.
