evidence-based treatments available for processing traumatic events and healing yourself on a neurological level. Unlike other forms of therapy, you won\u2019t have to relive those painful experiences in session.<\/p><p>Following EMDR therapy, clients often describe their healed memories as events that no longer hold power over their lives. While the past remains a part of your story, it\u2019ll no longer define who you are. The negative self-talk will fade into the background as you discover inner peace.<\/p><p>EMDR therapy, also known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing works by providing side-to-side stimulation of the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This stimulation engages and encourages integration of feeling and thinking, verbal and non-verbal material. During this therapy, the effect is similar to REM sleep where we process the events of the day and other thoughts.<\/p><p>Francine Shapiro, Ph.D developed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy in 1987. Multiple studies over many years indicate EMDR\u2019s effectiveness in helping people recover from a variety of traumatic experiences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b58aae3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b58aae3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b103c67 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b103c67\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f82a7ff e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f82a7ff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-604b585 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"604b585\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebfab0e elementor-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"ebfab0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pauliolivier.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4-icon.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-66 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 120px;

This feeling may indicate that a memory has been stored \u201cdysfunctional\u201d, that is to say, the memory has not been properly integrated. For illustrative purposes, to integrate a memory, an individual must process the information using both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. In trauma, often the traumatic event is stored in the right side of the brain with no concept of time or history.<\/p><p>For integration to take place, new neural pathways must be developed. This happens when the two sides of the brain are in contact with each other, when emotion and reason connect together.<\/p><p>After a traumatic experience, many people develop beliefs that are untrue about themselves and the world. EMDR therapy helps people gain clarity about what they could or could not do about a traumatic situation they may have been in and where they are now. The experience creates pathways to new perspectives and reality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9864c56 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9864c56\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e286feb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e286feb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2dd797 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c2dd797\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Happens in EMDR?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd566bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dd566bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a specialised conversation that provides a way to reprocess information. A specific protocol of questions is asked to enable a person to integrate what has happened to them. Similar to watching the scenes of a movie, the therapist asks the client to bring to mind an incident (remembering the images, sounds, impressions and other sensations), the negative thinking caused by the incident, and the new thoughts or beliefs the client would like to have.<\/p><p>The therapist then utilises bilateral stimulation, either by moving fingers, lights or hold little vibrating buttons that gently vibrate in each hand. After a short time, therapists make connections with clients and the clients generally think and feel differently about the incident, similar incidents, and themselves. Healing has begun.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8fc8de e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e8fc8de\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bca77f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bca77f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pauliolivier.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tense.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-200 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pauliolivier.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tense.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pauliolivier.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tense-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pauliolivier.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tense-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pauliolivier.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tense-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pauliolivier.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tense-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1920px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1920\/1280;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3ad9be e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a3ad9be\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78d08cc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"78d08cc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0acbafa elementor-blockquote--align-center elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"0acbafa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tTo realize one's personal legend is one's only true obligation.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">paulo coelho<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b39c5d elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"9b39c5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#contact\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">book a free 15-minute online consultation<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cd26c3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8cd26c3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7741b3f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7741b3f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-530439b elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"530439b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"aboutpauli\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d538046 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d538046\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">about me\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae863dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae863dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I&#8217;m Pauli Olivier.\u00a0<\/p><p>After completing my Master\u2019s in Clinical Social Work in 1998, I soon realised that I had a passion for working with trauma. My journey began at the South African Police Service and later as a lecturer at two universities, experiences that deepened my understanding of resilience and recovery. Today, as a trained and accredited EMDR therapist, I combine clinical expertise with genuine compassion to support each client\u2019s healing and growth.<\/p><p>I work with people experiencing trauma-related challenges such as anxiety and stress. In our first sessions, we gently identify the experiences that continue to affect you and create a tailored EMDR plan. Many clients notice relief after just a few sessions, especially with recent trauma, while more complex histories may take longer\u2014but every step forward is meaningful.<\/p><p>I have extensive training and experience in areas many would perceive as &#8220;taboo&#8221;.

I show up authentically and create a safe space where nothing is off-limits. If it feels right, I may share parts of my own story, because I know how powerful it is to feel truly understood. You\u2019ll be free to bring all of yourself\u2014the messy, uncomfortable, or unspoken parts too\u2014and I\u2019ll be there to listen, validate, and gently encourage you at a pace that feels right.<\/p><p>My approach is holistic, weaving together EMDR with mindfulness, breathwork, and visualization. I believe healing happens when both mind and body are engaged, helping you feel more grounded, whole, and connected.<\/p><p><em><strong>When I\u2019m not in the office<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>Growing up inland, I\u2019ve always loved escaping to the beach\u2014it\u2019s where I feel most at peace.

With the right support and your own willingness to grow, therapy becomes a space for acceptance, honesty, and change.<\/p><p>Often, clients arrive hoping to be \u201cfixed.\u201d But every part of you has played an important role in helping you survive and get to this point. Therapy takes a closer look at these parts\u2014how they sometimes work together and sometimes against one another\u2014and helps bring them into balance. The aim is for your core self, the calm and cantered part of you, to step forward and lead with clarity and courage.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1674\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1674\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How long is a session?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1674\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1674\"><p>Most sessions last 90 minutes, though, often they can be up to two hours.
