When people think of therapy, they often picture themselves talking to a counselor while lying on a couch in an office.

Though different from traditional modalities, many patients reshape their lives and reclaim their well-being with the help of EMDR therapist Christy Maxey.

What is EMDR Therapy in Black Canyon, AZ?
EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a technique that assists people in recovering from the effects of distressing life experiences, such as emotional distress and symptoms.
Created by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1987 as a treatment method for post-traumatic stress disorder, EMDR is an evidence-based treatment approach that provides both trauma-informed treatment and treatment protocol. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR employs bilateral stimulation to replicate the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase of sleep. In fact, EMDR treatments have shown that the mind can heal from psychological trauma faster than traditional talk therapy.
Traumatic events often lead to negative beliefs and emotions, such as shame, anger, and sadness. EMDR enables your brain to reprocess such events, promoting healing, well-being, and positivity in patients.
If you're wondering whether or not EMDR treatment from Christy Maxey might be a good choice for you and your family, ask yourself these questions:
- Do You Feel Stuck in Your Life?
- Do You Find Yourself Stuck Feeling the Same Types of Fear, Sadness, or Anxiety?
- Have You Grown Accustomed to a Negative Inner Critic?
- Do You Feel Stuck with Feelings of Shame from Past Mistakes or Traumas?
- Are You Always Repeating the Same Patterns in Relationships? Too Nice, Too Accepting, Avoidant, Easy to Get Triggered, Etc.?
- Is Your Brain Full of Self-Doubt and Harmful Self-Talk?
How Does EMDR Therapy Work?
Once it's agreed that EMDR therapy is suitable for you, your initial sessions involve discussing your goals and enhancing your ability to cope with stress. In the following phases of EMDR therapy, you concentrate on a specific event or focus on a negative image, belief, emotion, or bodily sensation related to the event. You then focus on a positive belief indicating that the issue has been resolved.
While you're focused on the upsetting event, Christy begins sets of side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps. After each set, you are guided to observe what comes to mind. Shifts in insight or changes in images, feelings, or beliefs about the event may occur. It should be noted that you can stop therapy at any moment if necessary. The sets of eye movements, sounds, or taps will be repeated until distress caused by the event decreases. EMDR therapy can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other forms of therapy offered through the Maxx Method.
To help paint you a picture of how EMDR therapy works, think of it like a cast for a broken bone. Unlike other forms of therapy, however, EMDR can be more uncomfortable than traditional treatments. It's important to be ready for possible emotional exhaustion afterward. To cope, you can create a relaxing playlist and plan some activities to unwind. Once the sessions are finished, take some time to recharge and decompress.
Who Should Use EMDR Therapy in Black Canyon, AZ?
EMDR therapy is something anyone can benefit from. It's not only reserved for people with extreme experiences or traumas. Even mild cases of anxiety and depression can be treated by a trained EMDR coach like Christy Maxey. When you remember something that reminds you of a bad experience, your body might react like it's in danger, even if it's not. This is a normal reaction, but if it keeps happening, it can make you feel really stressed out. With EMDR, you can heal and learn new ways to cope without having to talk about exactly what happened. This can help you feel better and live your life without over-worrying and ruminating on negativity.
If you're one of the many people who have experienced lackluster results from one or more EMDR sessions, it's crucial that you do not give up hope. In fact, many men and women come to Christy Maxey having had poor EMDR experiences. Thankfully, they soon realize how impactful and fulfilling the therapy can be for trauma. That's especially true when combined with other therapies like Inner Child Healing and Guided Visualization. Of course, EMDR therapy in Black Canyon, AZ, isn't the best choice for every patient - after all, every person is different and responds to therapies in different ways.
To truly discover if EMDR therapy is the right choice for your mind and body, contact Christy ASAP to schedule your initial consultation. That way, you and Christy can get to know each other better and discover the best ways to promote long-term healing and well-being. With that said, patients choose EMDR treatments for many reasons. Some of the most common reasons for using EMDR therapy include the following:
- Panic Attacks and Anxiety
- PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome)
- Eating Disorders like Bulimia, Anorexia, and More
- Trauma from Abuse and Violence
- Abusive or Violent Relationships
- Rest and Sleep Problems
- Social Anxiety
- Depression
- Childhood Trauma and Abuse
- Anger and Sadness
- Fear of Speaking in Public
- Betrayal and Grief
The Life-Changing Benefits of EMDR Therapy
Though EMDR therapy is more popular than ever, many people are still unaware of its benefits and how life-changing the therapy can be for people who are stuck. If that sounds like you, keep these benefits in mind as you continue to research this amazing therapy choice.
Triumph Over Trauma
Recovering from a traumatic experience can be extremely challenging, but EMDR therapy can provide a solution. Trauma can create triggers that make you feel like you're experiencing the event all over again. EMDR can help reorganize the thoughts, feelings, and experiences associated with the trauma so that you no longer feel controlled by it. While the effects of trauma may never completely disappear, EMDR can significantly reduce its impact on your life and enable you to live in the present without constantly reliving the past.
Enhance Your Mental Fortitude
Achieving personal growth involves accepting one's identity, building self-esteem, and understanding the internal narratives that shape our daily experiences. EMDR and guided therapeutic processing can help create a peaceful, efficient, and confident setting for individuals to accept their past and move forward. This therapeutic process empowers individuals, providing them with the strength and courage to confront any obstacle that impedes their well-being.
Reshape Your Life
During EMDR therapy sessions, traumatic events are broken down, enabling patients to gain a different perspective on negative events. This altered view can be as life-changing as the traumatic event itself, giving individuals greater control over how they adapt to the effects of trauma.
Overcome Circular Thinking
If you struggle with circular thinking patterns related to anxiety disorders, phobias, or generalized anxiety, EMDR therapy may be helpful. EMDR can assist you in overcoming these thought spirals by teaching you how to deal with your fears and worries without becoming overwhelmed by anxiety.
Understanding the Phases of EMDR Therapy in Black Canyon, AZ
According to the EMDR Institute, there are eight phases in traditional EMDR treatment:
The EMDR Institute has identified eight phases of EMDR therapy. These are:
- History and Treatment Planning
- Preparation
- Assessment
- Desensitization
- Installation
- Body scan
- Closure
- Reevaluation
History and Treatment Planning
During the initial stage of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Christy will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical and emotional history and create a treatment plan. This stage involves discussing the particular issue that led you to seek therapy. You'll also identify behaviors and symptoms associated with the issues you're facing. Based on this information, Christy will develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines the goals to be addressed using EMDR therapy in Black Canyon, AZ:
- The Traumas or Events Causing Issues
- Present-Day Problems and Traumas Causing Distress
- Healthy Behaviors and Skills Needed for Long-Term Well-Being
Preparation
During this phase, Christy will explain the theory of EMDR, how it is applied, and what you can expect during and after treatment. Christy will then teach you several techniques for relaxation so that you have the tools to calm down in the event of emotional disturbance.
One of the biggest goals of this first phase is to establish trust between you and your EMDR coach. While you don't have to go into great detail about disturbing memories, if you don't trust your therapist, you may not accurately report what is felt and what changes you are or aren't experiencing. If your goal is to please the therapist and say you feel better when you really aren't, no therapy in the world will resolve your trauma.
Assessment
In this phase, you will be prompted to access each target in a controlled manner so it can be effectively processed. Processing does not mean talking about it. From there, Christy identifies different parts of the target to be processed. The first step is for you to select a specific image or mental picture from the target event (identified during Phase One) that best represents the memory.
You then choose a positive statement that you would like to believe. The statement should have an internal sense of control, such as "I am valuable/lovable/a good person/in control" or "I can achieve success." In some cases, when the primary emotion is fear, such as after a natural disaster, the negative thought could be "I am in danger," and the positive thought could be "I am safe now." "I am in danger" is considered a negative thought because fear is no longer necessary, but it is still present in the nervous system. The positive thought should reflect what is appropriate in the present moment.
During this phase, you will also identify negative emotions like anger or fear and physical sensations that you associate with trauma.
Desensitization
This phase of EMDR therapy in Black Canyon, AZ, hones in on the disturbing sensations and emotions associated with your trauma and the ways that you respond to it. In doing so, patients often resolve similar events as well. The goal of this phase is to use sounds, taps, or eye movements with shifting focus until your subjective disturbance levels are lowered.
Installation
The goal here is to concentrate on the positive belief that you have identified to replace your negative belief(s). For example, you may have suffered child abuse in your younger years and hold the negative belief that you are powerless. Christy will help strengthen and install positive cognitions that reinforce the fact that you are in control, not the negative thoughts and emotions keeping you stuck.
Body Scan
Research into EMDR sessions indicates that physical responses to unresolved thoughts are common. After your positive cognition is fortified and installed, Christy will ask that you bring the original target event to the forefront of your mind. If she notices any additional body tension, those physical sensations are reprocessed. If you do not have any body tension or symptoms present when your original target event is brought up, your EMDR session is considered successful.
Closure
Typical EMDR sessions end with closure and a debriefing on what you can expect between your current and subsequent EMDR sessions. If necessary, Christy will provide calming techniques that you can use outside of therapy. This part of the EMDR process ensures that you leave Christy's office feeling better than you did at the beginning of the session.
Reevaluation
This phase gives Christy insight into any other treatment plans that may be necessary for your healing and well-being. Like any type of sound therapy, reevaluation is critical in determining the success of your EMDR treatment over a period of time.
Reshape Your Life with EMDR Therapy from Christy Maxey
Regardless of the events and trauma keeping you stuck, EMDR might be a viable solution for reclaiming your life. Christy Maxey provides patients with the safe space needed to do so. If you're ready to let go of past or present traumas and reclaim your love of life, EMDR therapy could be the first step on your healing journey.

Birds and big mountain views are just two reasons to try this Arizona hike

Special for The Arizona Republic
Ubiquitous yet largely invisible to the casual hiker, barn swallows play an interesting game of hide-and-seek with those who wander through their habitats.
The migratory species feeds in midair, capturing insects (they love flies, which explains their name) in acrobatic swoops over open terrain, rangeland and farms.
Also known as cliff swallows, the tiny birds build their nests in rock crevasses, caves and crags, but have discovered that human-made structures like highway tunnels, bridges, culverts and abandoned buildings are also suitable locations for their distinctive nests.
Travel:You can be one of the first to hike this history-filled trail in Arizona. Here's how
Plastered to ceilings and walls, the cup-shaped nests are made of dry bits of local grasses molded with mud and lined with feathers. For observant hikers, the earth-toned cups — which mostly look like wads of mud flung onto ceilings — can be spotted in overhead shadows in the concrete tunnels that usher trails under busy roads and freeways.
The tunnel under State Route 69 in the Yavapai County town of Mayer outside of Prescott is rife with nests as the surrounding landscape is dotted with farms, washes and open range where the swallows never hunger for a meal of insects.
That tunnel ferries trail users between the Big Bug and Copper Mountain segments of the Black Canyon National Recreation Trail, a 100-mile historic route that runs between Phoenix and the Verde Valley. While a walk through the tunnel is — at least for nature nerds — an interesting passage, there’s much more to love about the Copper Mountain segment.
More:Black Canyon Trail hike reveals Arizona's ragged interior
The trip begins at the Big Bug trailhead about an hour's drive north of Phoenix. Take the left fork a few yards south of the restroom, passing through the tunnel and heading into wide open pastureland. Save for a few lonesome junipers, the scrubby, windswept terrain has little shade and even less to disrupt big mountain vistas including glimpses of the long mesas of the Pine Mountain Wilderness and the pine-covered Bradshaw Mountains.
After passing a couple of ranch sites, the trail dives into an unrelenting series of ups and downs. At the 1.6-mile point, the trail meets the Copper Mountain Loop junction.
The 8.7-mile add-on loop heads left for a twisting trip through the foothills below 5,026-foot Copper Mountain.
The loop reconnects with the Copper Mountain segment at the Russian Well Segment 3 miles north of the south junction.
To stay on the main trail, head right and follow the route northward through drainages, gullies and grasslands where grazing cattle are nearly as pervasive as the swallows that dart among the cows and cactus diving for their dinners.

Black Canyon Trail: Copper Mountain segment
Length: Copper Mountain segment: 4.6 miles one way (9.2 miles out and back). Copper Mountain segment with loop: 15.1 miles for the entire loop plus access from trailhead.
Rating: Moderate.
Elevation: 4,020-4,414 (1,265 feet of accumulated elevation change).
Getting there: Use the Big Bug trailhead. From Interstate 17 in Cordes Junction take Exit 262 for State Route 69 heading north toward Prescott. Continue 4.2 miles to the signed turnoff for the Black Canyon Trail on the left.
Facilities: Vault toilet.

Residents in Yavapai County and other parts of Arizona are being told to evacuate or be prepared to evacuate as today's weather creates rising water levels around the state's rivers and basins.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office issued immediate evacuation orders for multiple streets in the Sedona area early Wednesday morning.
LIVE UPDATES: Evacuations and weather alerts amid flooding, ongoing storms in Arizona
Early Wednesday morning, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office ordered residents in Cottonwood that are along the Verde River south of State Route 89A to evacuate. They say flooding is ongoing along low-lying areas of the river.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office issued evacuation orders for residents in the Rimrock and Lake Montezuma areas along Wet Beaver Creek Tuesday as there is major flooding in the area. Residents should evacuate now or move to higher ground, according to YCSO.
As of 10:20 p.m. Tuesday, YCSO officials say there is a chance the Montezuma Ave Bridge over Wet Beaver Creek at Sycamore Park may have to close between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 5 a.m. Wednesday. YCSO says they are trying to keep the bridge open if possible.
An evacuation center is located at 395 S Main St in Camp Verde. If you have an emergency, call 911. For questions regarding the flooding or evacuations, call 928-442-5103.
Camp Verde residents have been placed in GO status and are asked to evacuate the area near the area of Horseshoe Bend, N Verde River Dr, Yaqui Circle and Quarter Horse/Grippen Lane as waters continue to rise.
Prescott residents on Granite Creek and in Granite Gardens have been placed in SET status and should be prepared to evacuate. Officials say there are increased flows on Granite Creek due to necessary water discharge from Watson Lake.
Mayer residents along Big Bug Creek, off E Stagecoach Trail, and in the Chimney Ranch RV Park have also been placed in SET status due to rising water levels and should be prepared to evacuate.

On Tuesday afternoon, a flood advisory was issued by the National Weather Service for residents in the Oak Creek area, just south of Sedona. The City of Sedona has alerted its residents to be SET to leave before water levels rise and to be cautious and leave early.
Examples of streets/areas near Oak Creek include:
Driveways and low water crossings could become impassable during these events and drivers should NOT attempt to cross them if water is present. Remember to turn around, don't drown.
The Coconino National Forest has closed several areas due to flooding.
The Tonto National Forest has closed several recreational areas at the Salt River until further notice. These sites include Granite Reef, Phon D Sutton and Coon Bluff. Due to water levels and water pressure, please stay out of these areas.
Rising water levels and water pressure has closed several recreation areas at the Salt River to be closed until further notice by the Tonto National Forest. These sites include:
Salt River Project said storms have compelled the utility to increase the number of water releases from its two reservoirs on the Verde River. The reservoirs are already more than 80% full, officials said in a news release.
SRP says it will begin Tuesday releasing 16,000 cubic feet of water per second, which translates into 120,000 gallons (455,000 liters) of water per second. The number of cubic feet per second could go up more later in the week.
Recent surveys found that snowpack on the 13,000-square-mile watershed that feeds into those Verde reservoirs is the deepest it's been in 30 years. SRP, which serves mainly central Arizona, operates by strategically releasing water from dams on the Salt and Verde rivers into a network of canals.
READY, SET, GO orders are given in the event of flooding:READY status indicates that you should be aware of the hazards that can threaten your community and take proactive steps to prepare for seasonal threats. The city encourages all residents to always be in ready status.SET status indicates that you need to be alert because there is significant danger and residents should consider voluntarily relocating outside the affected area.GO status indicates danger in your area is imminent and life-threatening, and you should evacuate.

In the worst-news-I’ve-heard-all-day category, there’s this: Bryan’s Black Mountain Barbecue in Cave Creek is closing. Its last day of operation is Saturday, April 22nd, which is also chef Bryan Dooley’s birthday. He and his wife Donna, who has worked side-by-side with him at the restaurant, are throwing a big going-away/birthday party on that day. Naturally, there will be barbecue as well as music and lots of regulars and old friends (which are basically one and the same).In a text to his customers and friends...
In the worst-news-I’ve-heard-all-day category, there’s this: Bryan’s Black Mountain Barbecue in Cave Creek is closing. Its last day of operation is Saturday, April 22nd, which is also chef Bryan Dooley’s birthday. He and his wife Donna, who has worked side-by-side with him at the restaurant, are throwing a big going-away/birthday party on that day. Naturally, there will be barbecue as well as music and lots of regulars and old friends (which are basically one and the same).
In a text to his customers and friends, Dooley says, “Let me explain. Business is great! Actually this year is starting off very strong. So why are we closing? Well, Donna and I are ready for a change. Life balance. It’s as simple as that! We are still young enough to pursue other interests and we look forward to spending much needed quality time together. This has been a plan that has been in the works for quite awhile and we are excited to move on to the next chapter of our lives. I am personally looking forward to getting out in the woods and doing some fishing!”
Dooley then goes on to thank his staff, past and present, his many loyal customers, and his two adult children, Keely and Jack, who worked every position in the 14 years that the restaurant has been in business. It’s an incredibly sweet text, so full of gratitude and good memories it made me cry.
What many people don’t know is that Dooley was a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. He also spent 15 years working as a chef at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, later using his chef-y skill set to make some terrific (and often way-out) specials, which often ran for a month at a time at Bryan’s.
Of course, he was probably best known for his brisket, but everyone had his or her own favorites. For me, it was the BBQ ribs, which I thought (alongside those at the defunct Don & Charlie’s) were the best in town. For my SO, it was “The Big Pig,” a mess of fries topped with pulled pork, pickled jalapeños, BBQ sauce, scallions and sour cream.
But this will all soon be history, and I have to say, it’s a big loss for Phoenix but an even bigger loss for Cave Creek. If you’re a Bryan’s BBQ fan, you better get it while you can.
Dooley hints that there may be another chapter. Let’s hope for that.
