Exploring Holistic Healing Methods at Neighbors Counseling Services for Emotional and Physical Wellness

In our busy lives, stress can become overwhelming. High anxiety levels and the lingering effects of trauma often lead people to search for effective mental health solutions. Neighbors Counseling Services is developing in this area, providing innovative practices that focus on both emotional and physical health. With therapies like EMDR and Somatic Mindfulness, along with comprehensive psychiatric care, they promote a holistic approach to wellness.

Understanding the Power of Somatic Therapies

Somatic therapies emphasize the close relationship between the mind and body. They help individuals recognize how emotional experiences can show up physically, empowering clients to release trauma through body awareness.

At Neighbors Counseling Services, practitioners guide clients in Somatic Mindfulness Therapy, which helps individuals become more aware of their bodily sensations. This technique fosters mindfulness and creates a supportive atmosphere for exploring emotions. For instance, clients may learn to notice tension in their shoulders, which could signal stress or anxiety. By reconnecting with their bodies, clients often find it easier to tackle issues like unresolved trauma or emotional distress.

This process can lead to significant changes. According to recent studies, around 80% of participants report a decrease in anxiety symptoms after engaging in somatic therapies. By integrating awareness of physical sensations with emotional processing, clients often experience relief, laying a solid foundation for improved mental well-being.

The Role of EMDR in Healing Trauma

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective therapy designed for individuals dealing with traumatic memories. This approach is particularly beneficial for those experiencing PTSD and related anxiety disorders.

At Neighbors Counseling Services, trained EMDR therapists guide clients through structured sessions. By utilizing methods like bilateral stimulation, clients can effectively reprocess painful memories. For example, a client may revisit a distressing event while simultaneously following guided eye movements, which helps lessen the emotional weight of the memory.

Recently we have been able to obtain EMDR devices to be able to better aid in the process.

Integrating Psychiatric Care for Comprehensive Support

Psychological therapies are essential, but they can be even more effective when combined with psychiatric care. Neighbors Counseling Services understands that addressing mental health requires a holistic approach, incorporating both therapy and psychiatry.

The psychiatric care provided includes thorough assessments of mental health conditions, leading to tailored treatment plans for each client. Clients benefit from specialized medication management that works in harmony with their therapy. Research shows that integrating medication with therapy can increase treatment effectiveness by nearly 60%, leading to better overall outcomes.

This collaborative method empowers clients. We are currently working towards creating a free online program for clients receiving medications to set goals, track changes, and learn about what is happening in the brain and body when taking these mind altering medications.
