Taking My Own Advice: What This EMDR Therapist Florida Learned About Balance

What happens when life asks you to slow down?

This month has been (and will be)...a lot. Travel, moving, back-to-school chaos, and all the everyday things that never pause. As an EMDR therapist Florida who preaches the value of aligned living and emotional bandwidth, I had to pause and ask myself—am I taking my own advice?

Turns out, the answer was “sort of.”

Let’s talk about what finding balance really means when life is loud.

Redefining Balance as an EMDR Therapist Florida

Balance isn’t about achieving perfect symmetry between your work life and personal life. It’s about realignment. For me, that meant choosing in-person connection over online output. Less screen time, more presence.

And for my clients—moms overwhelmed by expectations or navigating the stress of raising kids with food allergies—this often looks like:

• Saying “no” more often

• Giving up guilt when rest is needed

• Knowing what is urgent and what is just noise

  
  

In EMDR therapy, we reprocess the internalized “shoulds” and shift toward permission—to be tired, to change your mind, to need more help.

Life Will Keep Asking You to Adjust

The calendar won’t stop. The emails won’t stop. The expectations? Never-ending.

Balance comes when we stop adding and start prioritizing. Who or what gets your attention right now?

Your healing deserves a front seat—because when you feel aligned, you show up stronger everywhere else.

EMDR Therapy as a Reset Button

The whole point of EMDR is to stop reacting from survival mode and start responding from clarity.

That’s balance.

Through bilateral stimulation, we untangle emotional charges from old wounds so you can move forward with a grounded sense of self. It’s not about perfect living—it’s about peaceful living.

EMDR Intensive therapy allows you to do this faster—no dragging things out week to week. We work in concentrated sessions that deliver relief and realignment quickly.

How I'm Taking My Own Advice—And How You Can, Too

I’m not above the work. I also have to ask: Where is my energy actually needed?

This month, that looked like:

• Logging off and spending more time with family

• Pushing projects back that could wait

• Saying “yes” to nothing

  
  

So here’s your permission slip: You get to shift. You get to prioritize. And you get to heal, not hustle.

If you’re ready to reclaim your time, energy, and peace, let’s talk...once you're able to say "yes," again ;)
