Amyris Counseling & Wellness

**Signs you might be experiencing paranormal trauma** 👻

Not every scary experience becomes trauma. But some do, and the signs can be easy to miss, especially when no one around you is talking about it.

Here is what I see most often in my work at Amyris Counseling & Wellness:

💜 **Physical signs:**
• Chills, goosebumps, or shivers that come without explanation
• Nausea or stomach discomfort in certain spaces
• Sleep disruption, especially fear of your bedroom or the dark
• Jumpiness or a startle response that feels stuck on "high"

💜 **Emotional signs:**
• Anxiety that spikes when you think about what happened
• A sense of dread you cannot name or locate
• Feeling "on guard" in your own home
• Avoidance of certain rooms, objects, or conversations

💜 **Cognitive signs:**
• Replaying the experience, trying to make sense of it
• Doubting your own memory or perception
• Feeling like no one would believe you if you told them

If you are nodding along, you are not alone, and you are not making it up. Your nervous system is responding to something it experienced as a threat. That response is real, and it is treatable.

At Amyris Counseling & Wellness, I use EMDR, EFT, and grounding work to help your body find its way back to safety. No holy water required. ✨

**EMDR, explained simply.** ✨

If you have heard of EMDR but are not sure what it actually does, this one is for you.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process memories or experiences that feel "stuck."

Here is how I explain it to clients:

Your brain naturally processes experiences every day, kind of like filing them away. But when something overwhelming happens, that file does not get processed. It stays open, taking up energy, triggering your nervous system every time something reminds you of it.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or audio) to help your brain finally complete that filing process. You do not have to talk through every detail. You do not have to relive it all.

You just let your brain do what it was designed to do, with a little help finding the pathway.

💚 **What to expect:**
• A safe, paced process guided by a trained therapist
• No homework or forced recall between sessions
• Relief that builds gradually, not all at once
• Your experience stays yours. No one debates it.

At Amyris Counseling & Wellness, EMDR is one of my primary tools for trauma, anxiety, and unexplained experiences. Spooky but safe, always.

**What is paranormal trauma, really?** 👻

It is not about proving or disproving what happened. It is about what your nervous system went through.

Paranormal trauma is the emotional, physical, and psychological distress that follows an unexplained experience. Your body does not know the difference between "explained" and "unexplained" threat. It just knows it felt unsafe.

💜 **Common signs include:**
• Hypervigilance that will not switch off
• Sleep disruption or fear of going to bed
• Somatic symptoms like chills, nausea, or goosebumps
• Avoidance of certain rooms or places
• Anxiety that something will happen again

At Amyris Counseling & Wellness and Veil & Lantern Guidance, I help clients process these experiences using evidence-based therapies like EMDR and EFT tapping. No holy water required. Just care that takes your experience seriously.

You do not have to prove anything to deserve support. 💫
