Calm Within: EMDR Tools for Self-Regulation, is a psychotherapy group designed for individuals seeking to restore their nervous system to a state of optimal health and well-being. The focus of this group is to teach individuals skills that will help them get relief from stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, flashbacks, rumination, and hypervigilance.
Calm Within is generative group experience for those who are ready to equip themselves with practical tools for self-regulation, and motivated to engage in practices that build resilience.
Paula Kettula, LCSW is a seasoned psychotherapist and a trauma expert with over two decades of experience aiding individuals in healing from trauma as well as overcome anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges.
She has been trained in EMDR since 2009. Ever since then, she has been using this scientifically proven method to facilitate her clients' transformation from being stuck in debilitating trauma responses, anxiety or depression to being emotionally stable, curious and open to experience life fully.
Calm Within is a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to growth and healing. It offers a sanctuary for those who are struggling to navigate their daily life while carrying the weight of unresolved trauma, anxiety and depression.
Paula aims to empower participants with the skills, information, and resources necessary to cultivate inner calm, resilience, and connection.
Participants will learn self-sooting and resilience building techniques that are used in EMDR to help restore their nervous system to a natural state of balance.
Calm Within is a supportive space for those who are motivated and prepared to put in the work required for transformation. Participants must be willing to commit to the process and engage actively with the group dynamic.
