It’s not easy to sum up my experience with Dr Balmain, other than to state it was life-changing to the highest degree. When I was first referred for EMDR therapy, I understood I had a significant mental health crisis I wanted to conquer, but did not understand how I could approach it. Like many, my knowledge of therapy came from film and TV, and I often felt that there were obvious downsides to traditional “talking cure” therapy. But the day I met Dr Balmain, I realised that EMDR was the right move for me.
I knew I wanted to approach therapy as an ultimate solution to my depression and anxiety, and not as a continuous series of talking sessions with no concrete goal in mind. Within a month, Dr Balmain helped me understand the extent of what I was going through and how I had been struggling with PTSD. She explained that what we were about to do was both thorough and possibly one of the hardest experiences I would go through. I told her I was in it until the end, and our trust in each other was established from the outset.
If you’re wondering what I mean when I say that EMDR is thorough and hard, then just know that the answers to your issues are within you. You already have the solution and EMDR can help you uncover it. Imagine taking the lock off your brain and being able to focus on your biggest traumas. Imagine turning over every rock that has dragged you down and left you lost in life. This is what EMDR can help you achieve if you are ready to implement patience and perseverance to help you change your life for the better.
Part of what I loved about the process was allowing Dr Balmain to guide me through it, so I’m not going to spoil the process. But let me tell you, if you give yourself to it, you will find exactly what you’re looking for. Beyond the therapy itself, Dr Balmain is smart, empathetic, understanding, kind and incredibly professional. I couldn’t recommend a more capable person to help you through the EMDR process.
If you feel that you can’t take much more of your situation or you are constantly living under the dark cloud of depression, let me tell you now: you deserve to live your best life, and EMDR can open the door to help you get there. Within ten months, Dr Balmain helped me navigate the countless dark corridors of my mind to get through that door. I can’t thank her enough, and I will be forever grateful that I have been able to have this experience.
