For those who feel deeply and love wholeheartedly—even when it hurts.
You notice everything—the tone in someone’s voice, the shift in a room, the heaviness of the world. You care deeply, sometimes to the point of exhaustion. You might have been told you’re “too sensitive,” or learned to hide the depth of what you feel just to keep things manageable.
​
But that sensitivity isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. It’s your body’s way of noticing and responding to life in vivid color. The problem isn’t that you feel too much; it’s that you’ve had to hold it all alone.
Why It Feels So Hard
When emotions run deep, your nervous system often stays on high alert—ready to protect, please, or shut down. You might find yourself cycling between overwhelm and numbness, connection and withdrawal, tenderness and guilt.
​
Over time, this can lead to feeling disconnected from yourself, unsure if you can trust your emotions, or afraid of being “too much” for others to handle.
In learning to be with your feelings, you learn to be with yourself.
Somatic EMDR therapy helps you come back to your body’s natural rhythm—where emotion and safety can exist together. We’ll work gently with the places inside that have learned to hide or brace against intensity, allowing those parts to unfold at their own pace.
​
This isn’t about turning your emotions down. It’s about helping your body hold them, so they no longer overtake you. You’ll begin to feel more grounded in your sensitivity, finding steadiness without shutting down what makes you beautifully alive.
