PTSD is one of the key ways occupational stress injuries show up. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation of the brain to help you resolve symptoms. Much of the processing happens internally, without you having to discuss each aspect of a particular memory or experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/1791503322940-LL710IP544P9MYVV3PJ1/unsplash-image-YXAimc5brXs.jpg Trauma Therapy for First Responders - Somatic Experiencing (SE) Whether it’s noticing your heart pounding, feeling hyper-alert, or being flooded by adrenaline, stress reactivity is a full-body experience. When you have a stress-related injury, your body’s normal survival reactions can get stuck in overdrive, even when the crisis has passed. Somatic experiencing is an emerging therapy that uses the body’s innate wisdom to reset an overactive stress response at the neurobiological level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/53154b6b-1e13-460c-8c56-75901b5366a4/ben_kerckx-hearts-700141_1920.jpg Trauma Therapy for First Responders - Couples & Relationship Counselling Occupational stress can take a toll on the whole family. As a first responder, you want to protect your family from the painful parts of the job. Over time, it’s easy to feel increasingly shut down or disconnected. It becomes harder to share your feelings and experiences, and misunderstandings can grow. Relationship counselling can help you reconnect with those you love, deepen intimacy, and foster mutual understanding. https://www.annemariegockel.com/home-3 daily 1.0 2026-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/1620672565962-2AOARH7YSFYAWD8CX1FO/people-2591874_1920.jpg Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy Online in BC and Ontario - Find your flow amidst life’s ups and downs Change keeps coming.

Learn to communicate authentically, deepen intimacy, and nurture the relationships that help you feel at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/1620686069077-7AQ6ZKXJXTPI35SODL4V/forest-2942477_1920.jpg Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy Online in BC and Ontario - Cultivate a friendly relationship with yourself We are often hardest on ourselves. When self-doubt, anxiety, or self-judgment are taking up too much airtime, it’s difficult to enjoy our lives, connect with others, or do the things we want to do. Become more accepting of yourself, celebrate your strengths, and know your worth. Build the confidence to lean into and learn from your growth edges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/1620684660414-B13KPCICBXQFPKM9VFUL/coffee-2306471_1920.jpg Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy Online in BC and Ontario - Take action on your dreams You are going places.

We also share a deep longing to be seen, understood, and loved for who we really are. Despite our best efforts, it’s all too easy to find ourselves feeling lonely, disconnected, or stuck in the same painful pattern in one relationship after another. Relational therapy can help you identify and transform the patterns that are in the way of creating more satisfying relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/1620684857983-MB8KA18NZJCH0Q5VBVGH/chermiti-mohamed-37-lm2otkas-unsplash.jpg Relationship and Couples Counselling - Emotionally-Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) Even when you are deeply in love, it’s easy to bump up against your differences and wonder why the other person can’t get you, or doesn’t just do the simple thing that you need. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a evidence-based therapy for relational distress in couples. EFT helps each partner identify and shift their role in painful dynamics, so you can work together to deepen communication, restore trust & intimacy, and enjoy your life together. https://www.annemariegockel.com/home-1-2 daily 0.75 2026-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/b0bf59ab-295b-4e92-86aa-e5674b8e8e01/lina-trochez-ktPKyUs3Qjs-unsplash.jpg Therapy for Anxiety - Mindfulness-Based Therapies Negative thoughts and feelings are sticky. Our minds have a tendency to focus on what we don’t want, and we can find ourselves trapped in our fears and worries. Mindfulness helps us take charge of our attention, move through difficult feelings, and let go of negative thoughts about ourselves and our lives. Mindfulness-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy are evidence-based treatments for anxiety and depression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/606c7825-548b-404f-832d-85abeb655172/background-2413081_1920.jpg Therapy for Anxiety - Somatic Experiencing (SE) So many of the symptoms of anxiety and depression are physical, as well as mental and emotional. You may feel shaky, like you can’t breathe, or notice a sense of dread in the pit of your stomach when you are on the spot. When our nervous system is sensitized to stress, we can start to react to everyday challenges as though they are a four-alarm fire. SE is an emerging therapy that draws on our body’s innate wisdom to help us access greater calm and confidence at the neurobiological level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/1791503322940-LL710IP544P9MYVV3PJ1/unsplash-image-YXAimc5brXs.jpg Therapy for Anxiety - CBT & Solution-Focused Coaching You have dreams and plans, but anxiety and self-doubt get in the way. Maybe you see the final goal, but you aren’t sure how to get started or stay motivated when challenges arise. You are excited by your vision, but it feels so risky to put yourself out there. Who are you to think you can do it? CBT and solution-focused coaching can help you break challenges down into actionable steps, build skills and confidence, and stay on track with your goals. https://www.annemariegockel.com/about-2 daily 0.75 2026-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096f36099049965f334825a/a5d6bec7-df46-400f-9a0b-92f407ec1a0f/AM05_medres.JPG About - My story I do this work because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to struggle with self-doubt, experience anxiety or long for more connection. So I know that it’s entirely possible to build confidence, break through your fears, and create amazing relationships. I’ve drawn on talk therapy to identify and shift the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that kept me stuck. I explored both science and spirituality, developing a daily practice of mindfulness and compassion, which brought greater freedom and joy. Most recently, I experienced and then trained in a body-focused approach to healing, reaching places and patterns I couldn’t access with words alone. The effort and commitment required has been well worth it. I’ve experienced incredible gifts in the process of growth and change that I could never have predicted, and I would love to be there to witness how those gifts start to show up for you.
