Sexual Addiction


Sexual addiction brings a particular set of challenges and trauma into the relationship. For example, the initial discovery can feel like an internal bombshell. Likewise, the shock of finding online or in-person activities can be devastating. 



Typically, you're left with many questions and no clear answers. One complex factor of sexual addiction is the shame and secrecy associated with it. There seems to be a stigma around sex addiction that differs from drug or alcohol addictions. With a need to be more secretive, the added pressure can intensify feelings in the moment. As a result, urges become more difficult to overcome. Thus, behaviors become more erratic. 


At Richmont Trauma Center we may be able to help you find refuge from sexual addiction. Our therapists will be your guide as you strive to maintain your mental health. Call us today to learn more.

Grief and Loss


Grief and loss trauma does not only come from the loss of a loved one. For example, it may also come from losing a job, experiencing limited social activities (COVID19), and losing a pet for many people. Today, millions of people are now dealing with the after-effects of COVID19 through grief and loss trauma. As a result, handling these emotions may be harder than ever before, but you are not alone. 


Grief and loss are normal feelings that everyone is likely to encounter during their lifetime. However, knowing these emotions are common doesn't make feeling them any easier. The emotions that accompany grief and loss can feel heavy and unmanageable. For example, you may feel like the emotional pain will consume you. However, you'll also likely discover your inner resilience and ability to continue on. As you move through the process of grief and loss, you may need to remind yourself that it won't feel like this forever. While you may never fully heal your heartache, there's a good chance the heaviness will shift to more manageable feelings.


At Richmont Trauma Center, we recognize the many reasons leading to grief and loss trauma. If you're struggling to manage your emotions or unable to adjust to life, you are not alone. Our therapists may be able to help you through the healing process. Contact us to get the help you deserve.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of psychotherapy. When we experience a traumatic event, our brains create an association between the event and any thoughts, memories, sights, smells, sounds, or feelings instantly. These associations may be triggered at any time. If left untreated, it may affect a person's mental wellbeing and overall quality of life. As a result, EMDR is an effective form of treatment to help individuals process disturbing or adverse events from the past locked up in the brain. 


How does EMDR work? It works by activating both sides of the brain at the same time. For example, after an assessment with a therapist, they will monitor a client's responses to the series of hand movements. Likewise, helping a client identify any adverse emotions affecting their mental wellbeing. Then the client and therapist create a new association between the negative memory with another thought (usually a pleasant one). As a result, EMDR may help people get rid of the negative emotions allowing them to move forward in the healing process.
