A lot of therapy techniques don't work for trauma - not because you failed at it, but because it wasn't designed for what trauma actually does to the brain and nervous system.
I have spent years specifically training in trauma-focused approaches because general talk therapy, while valuable, often isn't enough.
Trauma is stored differently. It needs to be treated differently.
Specialist Trauma Therapist
Trained in EMDR l Brainspotting l TIR l Somatic Exercizes and Neuropsychotherapy
Lived Experience
Most EMDR trained therapists are only trained in one trauma technique as an add-on to their broader scope. I am trained in several trauma-specific techniques and can combine and adapt them to the individual needs of the client. I work only with Trauma, which greatly deepens my expertise on the subject.
"I am incredibly grateful"
After multiple and ongoing childhood traumas, I had tried “talk therapy” with limited success as an adult. Sunet is just incredible. I feel so much lighter and more balanced in my life every day.
- Jodi van der Linden

"My life changed forever"
"I've been seeing Sunet for almost 2 months now and I already feel lighter in my day-to-day life. I've still got a long way to go and I'm still processing through things with her, but starting to see her is honestly the best gift that I have ever given myself!"
- Maddie Linden

"Highly recommend working with Sunet"
Very welcoming place with no judgement. Great care provided and open evaluation and proactive results. Thanks to the team

"Highly recommend this"
I have alot of expat experience and am an expat family coach. This course was taught with knowledge, expertise and experience by Sunet Gopaul. It was very informative, helpful and gives a great foundation of what it's like to prepare and live an expatriate life. Thanks, Sunet!

History Taking: The therapist gathers information about the client’s history and identifies target memories for processing.
Preparation: The therapist explains the EMDR process, establishes a trusting therapeutic relationship, and teaches the client self-soothing techniques.
Assessment: The client identifies specific memories to target, along with negative beliefs associated with those memories.
Desensitization: Using bilateral stimulation (often through guided eye movements), the therapist helps the client reprocess the traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge.
Installation: The client focuses on positive beliefs they wish to integrate while continuing bilateral stimulation.
Body Scan: The therapist guides the client in noticing any residual tension or discomfort in the body, helping to release these physical manifestations of trauma.
Closure: The therapist assists the client in returning to a state of equilibrium, ensuring they feel safe and stable before leaving the session.
Reevaluation: In subsequent sessions, the therapist checks in on the progress made and addresses any new material that may have emerged.
Rapid Results
Many clients experience significant relief from symptoms in a relatively short number of sessions.
Trauma Processing
EMDR helps reprocess traumatic memories, allowing individuals to integrate them into their life narrative.
Holistic Approach
EMDR addresses emotional, cognitive, and physical aspects of trauma, fostering a comprehensive healing experience.

Abuse and neglect

Accidents or disasters

Complex Trauma or Phobias
Identifying Brainspots: The therapist guides the client to focus on a specific issue or traumatic memory. As the client speaks about their experience, the therapist helps them identify "brainspots," or eye positions that correspond to the intensity of their emotional response.
Focusing on the Brainspot: Once a brainspot is identified, the client maintains their gaze on that specific spot. This focus helps access deeper emotional and physiological experiences, allowing the brain to process and integrate unresolved trauma.
Processing: As the client remains focused on the brainspot, they may experience a range of emotions or sensations. The therapist supports the client in processing these feelings, facilitating a natural healing response.
Closure and Integration: After processing, the therapist helps the client return to a state of equilibrium, ensuring they feel safe and grounded. The session often concludes with discussions about insights gained and how to integrate these experiences into daily life.
Direct Access to Trauma
Brainspotting allows clients to access and process traumatic memories that may be difficult to articulate or confront through traditional talk therapy.
Reduced Emotional Distress
Many individuals experience a decrease in anxiety, depression, and other symptoms after sessions, often leading to profound emotional relief.
Holistic Healing
The technique addresses both the emotional and physical manifestations of trauma, promoting a sense of overall well-being.
Flexibility
Brainspotting can be adapted to various therapeutic contexts, including individual therapy, group sessions, and even remote or online therapy.
