reclaim confidence with athlete EMDR for trauma recovery
Athletes face pressure every day, but when trauma enters the picture, it can leave lasting impacts that affect both performance and overall well-being.
At Element Counseling, we understand that taking care of mental health in athletes is as important as their trainings, especially for some of those who experienced trauma from their sport or in other areas of their life.
We offer specialized trauma therapy through EMDR to help athletes heal, process their trauma, and regain control of their sport and life.
What We Do
Initial Assessment: We start by getting to know the athlete’s personal story, focusing on understanding their unique experiences and pinpointing the trauma affecting them.
Personalized Sessions: Each therapy session is customized to fit the athlete’s needs, using talk therapy or a phased EMDR approach to work through their trauma at a pace that’s right for them.
Continuous Support and Monitoring: We provide ongoing support through regular sessions, coordinating with other care providers as needed and adjusting the treatment as the athlete progresses and their needs evolve.
How We Can Help
Through talk therapy and EMDR, we will target distressing memories and feelings, allowing athletes to process them without being overwhelmed. Through these methods, we can help you:
Reduce anxiety and flashbacks associated with trauma.
Improve focus and concentration, making staying present during training and competition easier.
Rebuild confidence by reshaping negative thought patterns.
Target emotional numbness and rediscover the joy and satisfaction that sports used to bring.
Manage hyperarousal to stop overtraining and reduce the risk of burnout.
