Talk therapy can be incredibly powerful, helping us process emotions, gain insight, and find language for our experiences. But sometimes, even after understanding why we feel or behave a certain way, we still feel stuck.
That’s because trauma doesn’t live in our logic, it lives in our body and nervous system.
When our nervous system experiences overwhelm, fear, or pain it couldn’t process at the time, that energy gets stored in the body. These unresolved memories and sensations can keep looping beneath the surface, showing up as anxiety, triggers, emotional reactivity, or even physical tension. That’s where modalities like EMDR and Splankna come in.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or tones) to help the brain reprocess traumatic or distressing memories. It gently allows the brain to “unstick” from frozen patterns, integrate past experiences, and rewire emotional responses. What once triggered fear or pain can become neutral — freeing up mental and emotional energy for healing and growth.
Splankna, a faith-integrated mind-body modality, works at the intersection of the spiritual, emotional, and physiological. It identifies and releases energy patterns connected to emotional trauma or limiting beliefs stored in the body’s biofield. Many clients describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more peaceful — as if something deep within has finally let go.
Both EMDR and Splankna go beyond talking about the issue, they help your whole system release it.
They access the body’s innate ability to heal, restore safety, and create alignment between mind, heart, and spirit.
If you’ve done talk therapy and still feel like something deeper hasn’t shifted, these approaches can open a new level of transformation, one that doesn’t just help you understand your story but finally rewrite it.
At Arise Counseling and Coaching, Amy DuBose offers EMDR therapy to help clients reprocess and heal emotional pain, and Judy Bruce provides Splankna sessions that integrate faith, emotion, and energy work for deep, holistic restoration. Both offer powerful pathways for healing when you’re ready to move beyond talk and into true transformation.
