Moving Towards Radical Self-Love

I struggled with self-confidence, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress for over a decade of my life. I saw a lot of different therapists and sought a lot of different therapies and nothing seemed to change. Every day I would have feelings of self-loathing, feeling like I couldn’t get anything right, and that I was not worthy of love. A therapist suggested that I do some EMDR to work past the post-traumatic stress and she recommended Jill Denton to me.

I have only seen Jill for a short while, but already things have shifted dramatically for me. After one particular EMDR session where the words “I love myself unconditionally” were repeated, I came home feeling a fantastic new feeling. I felt love for myself for the first time! This wasn’t just a feeling of acceptance, but more like the feeling you get when you are falling in love with someone. I even felt butterflies, but for myself! Something inside me was unlocked during that session, and now I take better care of myself, I am making progress in many areas of my life, and rather than getting down on myself for making a mistake, I just love and accept myself unconditionally. I feel joy for the first time since I was a little girl. I am so grateful for Jill’s expertise in EMDR. She guides me through some painful memories in such a nurturing, caring way that makes me feel truly safe. Doing EMDR with Jill has been life changing and I now have more love to give – to myself and others. Thank you Jill!
