The start of a new year always brings a sense of possibility. We set goals, dream big, and vow to take better care of ourselves. But what if this year, instead of focusing on the external—things like diets, workouts, or organizing our homes—we took the time to focus inward? What if this year was about healing, truly healing, from the inside out?
Whether you’ve experienced childhood emotional neglect or are a mom raising kids with food allergies, the weight of these experiences can be overwhelming. They may leave lasting emotional scars that affect your day-to-day life in ways you might not even realize. If you’re feeling the pull to work on yourself in 2025, this could be the perfect time to try something new: EMDR Intensive Therapy.

What is EMDR, and How Can It Help?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful form of therapy designed to help individuals heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It works by targeting the brain's natural healing process, allowing you to process traumatic memories and experiences more effectively.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which can take months or even years to unravel deep-rooted trauma, EMDR therapy helps you reprocess those memories quickly, making it a great option for those who want faster, lasting results. It’s been shown to be particularly useful for people dealing with:
Childhood Emotional Neglect: If you grew up feeling emotionally unsupported, unseen, or unworthy, those early experiences may still be impacting your sense of self and your relationships today. EMDR can help you process those feelings of neglect, giving you a chance to heal and rewrite your internal narrative.
Moms Raising Kids with Food Allergies: If you’re a mother managing your child’s food allergies, you might be dealing with chronic anxiety, stress, and even trauma. The constant vigilance required to keep your child safe can take a toll on your mental health, and EMDR can help reduce the emotional burden.

Why Choose an EMDR Intensive?
With life being busier than ever, it can feel difficult to commit to weekly therapy appointments. This is where EMDR Intensives come in. EMDR Intensives are a more focused, accelerated way to address trauma or anxiety by working through multiple therapy sessions in a condensed period, often over a few days.
Some benefits of choosing an EMDR Intensive include:
Efficient Healing: Instead of spreading therapy sessions over several months, you can condense the work into just a few days or weeks. This means less disruption to your busy schedule and more immediate relief.
Focused Attention: Intensives allow for deep, uninterrupted work, providing a more immersive healing experience.
Customizable: You can choose from different lengths of EMDR Intensive sessions depending on your needs, whether it's a few hours or a weekend retreat.
At Olson Counseling Services, I offer EMDR Intensive Therapy to clients in Florida and Wisconsin through Telehealth. This means you can access the support you need from the comfort of your own home, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy life.

Why Now Is the Time to Heal
Starting a new year is symbolic—a clean slate, a fresh start. It’s also the perfect time to focus on the inner work that you’ve maybe been putting off. Here’s why now is the best time to commit to healing:
You Deserve Peace: Emotional neglect or the stress of managing food allergies can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and constantly on edge. You deserve to feel at peace in your own skin and mind. EMDR can help you get there.
Create a Better Future: By addressing past trauma and emotional wounds, you’re not just healing yourself; you’re creating a healthier environment for your family, too. Your healing can break cycles of neglect and stress, ensuring a brighter future for your children.
It’s Time for You: You spend so much time caring for others. Whether it’s your family, your job, or your community, the new year is a reminder that your well-being is just as important. This is the year to prioritize you.
