Living with autoimmune symptoms can feel like a full-time job; constant flares, brain fog, and anxiety that never seem to let up. Research shows unresolved trauma can keep your nervous system in survival mode, making symptoms worse. Learn how Pensacola’s first EMDR and Brainspotting intensives can help you calm your system, process medical trauma, and find relief in days instead of months.

Living with an autoimmune condition or chronic illness takes a toll far beyond the physical symptoms. The emotional impact of being dismissed by doctors, bracing for the next flare, or replaying stressful medical experiences can leave your nervous system stuck in survival mode. Weekly therapy often helps but doesn’t always give enough time or space to fully process these experiences — leaving you raw and unsettled. That’s where EMDR intensives can make the difference. At Hello Calm Therapy in Pensacola, FL, we offer EMDR and Brainspotting intensives designed specifically for clients navigating medical trauma and autoimmune stress. These focused sessions provide extended time to release trauma, reset the nervous system, and build tools for lasting calm. Whether in-person in Pensacola or virtually across Florida and Alabama, this intensive approach offers the support you’ve been looking for to finally feel safe and grounded in your body again.
