Healing from Home: Why Online Therapy Might Be the Safe, Supportive Space You’ve Been Looking For
I know how hard it can be to carve out space just for you, on top of everything else you have to do. But picture this: you’re in your favorite spot at home, maybe wrapped in a blanket or sipping tea, and instead of rushing across town to an office, you’re showing up for yourself with a simple click. Online therapy for women isn’t just about convenience; it’s about creating a space where healing feels accessible, comfortable, and—most importantly—possible.
what is emdr and how does it help with anxiety?
EMDR works with your brain to address the root causes of anxiety, not just the symptoms. Instead of just managing the anxious thoughts or sensations, EMDR helps uncover and reprocess the experiences or beliefs that might be fueling your anxiety.
What is functional freeze, and how does it relate to anxiety and stress?
Functional freeze is a protective response from your nervous system. When you face stress or danger, your body has a few options: fight, flight, or freeze. Freeze happens when neither fighting nor fleeing feels possible. You have high peaks (anxiety, panic, overwhelm), and low valleys (freeze). Your system "freezes" to keep you safe by conserving energy and avoiding harm.
Expanding your window of tolerance
Have you ever felt like your emotions are a rollercoaster, swinging from feeling super anxious to completely drained? Or maybe you feel stuck in one place—constantly on edge, or totally checked out. These feelings aren’t random. They’re connected to how your nervous system responds to stress and past experiences. Understanding something called the window of tolerance can help explain what’s happening and how therapy can make a difference.
