About the methods
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most thoroughly researched and evidence-based approaches in psychotherapy. It’s based on the idea that it’s not the situations themselves that trigger our emotions, but rather our perception and interpretation of those situations — in other words, our thoughts
CBT helps us notice, challenge, and change distorted thinking patterns that maintain emotional pain and unhelpful behaviors. As a result, we can improve our emotional well-being and develop constructive ways of responding that help us cope more effectively and move toward our goals
For example, imagine this situation: a smiling girl is walking toward you and, as she passes, she briefly makes eye contact.
We’re not born with negative beliefs and patterns through which we view the world — they develop over time, often in relationships with important people in our lives, and tend to be reinforced automatically throughout the years. But they’re just ideas, not absolute truths. At some point, they may have helped us get through difficult times, but now they may be doing more harm than good. And, If we once learned to think poorly of ourselves, we can now learn to see ourselves with care, understanding, and respect
This meaningful — though not always easy — process of change is powerfully supported by EMDR therapy, a method that helps process the very roots of pain and deeply held beliefs, allowing you to release what no longer needs to be carried ⬇️

- Victor thinks: “She’s laughing at me — something must be wrong. Do I have toothpaste on my face? A stain on my shirt? Something stuck in my teeth? Is my walk weird? I must look ridiculous.”
- Kevin, on the other hand, thinks: “She must have heard something funny. Happy people are so beautiful.”

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic method that helps safely "digest" traumatic experiences by reducing their emotional intensity and allowing for a shift in how these experiences are perceived and understood
The method is based on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which suggests that most life events are naturally processed by the brain and integrated into our personal narrative. Metaphorically, each of these events is like a puzzle piece that fits into the larger picture of who we are
However, some events are too overwhelming to process at the time they occur. Instead of being integrated, they remain stuck — disconnected from the broader system — and the brain continues to respond to them as if they are still happening in the present. Anything that reminds the brain of that painful experience — known as triggers — can repeatedly reactivate the emotional distress. As a result, we may begin to see the present and future through the lens of unresolved pain
These distressing events are stored in the brain along with the original images, sounds, thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.
EMDR procedures stimulate the brain’s natural information-processing system, helping it to reprocess these memories — allowing the “isolated puzzle piece” to connect with the rest of our life experience and become part of a coherent whole
As a result, what was once a painful memory becomes just a chapter from the past — one that has already been read, rather than a page we’re still stuck on

Try this experiment: actively try not to think about a pink elephant for five minutes. If your mind wanders, gently remind yourself to keep trying not to think about it
Chances are, you didn’t succeed 🐘
The same thing happens when we try to fight or control our thoughts and feelings. By trying to “get rid” of them, we actually strengthen their hold over us
So, what can you do instead?
ACCEPT AND OBSERVE WITHOUT JUDGMENT:
🔹 Imagine a thought or emotion as a big soap bubble. You don’t have to dive into it headfirst. You simply acknowledge its existence and watch it — how it floats around you, then rises into the sky and drifts away
🔹 It helps to observe what’s happening as if you were an outside observer — without judgment, focusing on facts without personal interpretation
Also, it’s important to remember that thoughts and actions are not the same. Just because a thought comes to mind doesn’t mean you have to act on it
So, you can’t really “get rid” of thoughts or emotions, but you can learn to manage them. To understand how, I recommend reading Robert Leahy’s book “Anxiety free...”
How often do you try to fight your thoughts or emotions? How successful are you at it?
