Reprocess trauma, break free from stuck patterns, and move forward with more ease.
Trauma can live in your body long after the original experience is over. Maybe you know exactly what’s triggering you — or maybe it sneaks up unexpectedly in the form of anxiety, overwhelm, emotional shutdown, or chronic tension. Either way, it can feel like you’re trapped in a loop you can’t quite escape.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps you process trauma and distressing experiences, so they no longer control how you feel, think, or react.
I’m Bridget Weigel, LPC. I offer EMDR therapy for individuals across Denver and throughout Colorado (virtually and in-person), as part of an integrative, relational approach to trauma healing.
How EMDR Works
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR supports your brain’s natural ability to heal. The process helps you reprocess disturbing memories in a way that reduces emotional charge, body tension, and reactivity.
During an EMDR session, we’ll use bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) while gently guiding you through targeted memories or experiences. The goal isn’t to erase your history — it’s to help your brain integrate it so that past events stop hijacking your present.
You don’t need to retell every detail of what happened. You don’t need to “power through” the discomfort. We go at your pace, with a strong emphasis on safety, choice, and grounding.
EMDR May Help If You Are:
Living with PTSD or complex trauma
Experiencing childhood emotional wounds that still impact you
Feeling stuck in loops of fear, shame, or worthlessness
Dealing with triggers that feel disproportionate or hard to explain
Carrying body-based symptoms related to trauma (tightness, shutdown, dissociation)
Struggling with anxiety, panic, or chronic hypervigilance
Why I Integrate EMDR Into My Work
I use EMDR alongside other relational and somatic approaches, because trauma lives in both the mind and the body. When clients feel ready, EMDR can offer a way to unlock stuck patterns that talking alone hasn’t shifted.
My approach is deeply personalized — we’ll build a foundation of trust and nervous system awareness first, and I’ll always respect your boundaries and readiness. Some clients use EMDR as a focused part of their therapy journey. For others, it’s a piece of broader work that we weave in over time.
You are in charge of the process. My role is to support you, offer tools, and create the safety needed for healing to happen.
