At Hawaiʻi Holistic Care, EMDR is offered as part of our trauma-informed approach to mental and emotional well-being. Our practitioners use EMDR and somatic approaches to support the processing of difficult experiences, emotional regulation, and greater resilience.
EMDR: A trauma-informed approach that uses bilateral stimulation to help process distressing experiences and reduce their emotional intensity.
Somatic EMDR: Combines EMDR techniques with body awareness to address physical sensations, emotions, and nervous system responses connected to difficult experiences.
Hypnotherapy is a research-supported therapeutic approach that guides the mind into a focused, relaxed state, allowing the subconscious to become receptive to new patterns of thought and behavior. Neuroimaging studies have shown measurable changes in brain activity, particularly in regions governing attention, self-awareness, and the connection between mind and body, and yet the client always feels in control. That combination of connection and clarity is the gateway to hypnotherapy: subconscious patterns can be released, and powerful new habits formed.
Clinical research has demonstrated its effectiveness for a range of issues, including pain management, addiction and smoking cessation, healthy weight, sports performance, overcoming fears and phobias, managing anxiety, and releasing trauma.
Sessions are crafted individually to meet each client's needs. Initial sessions are 90 minutes and follow-ups are 60 minutes. Hypnotherapy is the base, but we may incorporate somatic EMDR, therapeutic imagery, EFT and NLP. Hypnotherapy is known as a fast modality, though like any healing process it varies by individual. Some issues resolve in 1 to 3 sessions; others take a little more time and consistency.
