What is EMDR Therapy in Marana, AZ?

head-under

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?

head-under

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 Marana, AZ?

head-under

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 Marana, 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

  • Rest and Sleep Problems

  • Betrayal and Grief

The Life-Changing Benefits of EMDR Therapy

head-under

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

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

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

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

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 Marana, AZ

head-under

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

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 Marana, 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

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

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

Desensitization

This phase of EMDR therapy in Marana, 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

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

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

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

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.

Ascent Aviation Services And Israel Aerospace Industries Sign Agreement To Establish New Aircraft Conversion Site In Marana

Within the framework of the collaboration agreement, IAI plans to have Ascent convert two lines of Boeing B777-300ER aircraft, starting in 2024 in Ascent’s facilities located in Marana, Arizona. To support the program, Ascent will build two new widebody hangars with pre-construction work having already commenced.

Within the framework of the collaboration agreement, IAI plans to have Ascent convert two lines of Boeing B777-300ER aircraft, starting in 2024 in Ascent’s facilities located in Marana, Arizona. To support the program, Ascent will build two new widebody hangars with pre-construction work having already commenced. Work is expected to be completed on both hangars prior to aircraft induction.

IAI’s Aviation Group recently successfully completed the first test flight of a B777-300ERSF after it underwent passenger-to-cargo conversion, the first of its kind in the world. At the same time, IAI is in the final stages of the certification process with IAI expected to receive the STC from CAAI and FAA within 2023.

Setting up passenger-to-freighter conversion remote sites around the world is required due to the expected demand for wide-body freighter aircraft capable of long-haul flights, such as the B777-300ER, which after conversion will be able to carry payloads of up to 100 tons. According to analysts’ reports, the combination of these capabilities, with the significant fuel savings that the aircraft will permit – will make it one of the most popular freighter aircraft in the world. The 777-300ER will join IAI’s family of converted aircraft, which today includes the Boeing 747, 767 and 737 NG and A330-300 under development.

"Ascent is excited to embark on this long-term partnership with IAI over the course of this fifteen-year agreement,” said David Querio, President and CEO of Ascent Aviation Services. “We look forward to getting started on our hangar buildout and bringing dozens of aircraft to Arizona to support the maintenance and modification services required. This long-term collaboration agreement will bring lasting growth to the Tucson aviation community. With this expansion, we will expand our footprint in Marana to hangar up to three wide-body aircraft, bring hundreds of new high-skilled jobs to the region and continue to provide our team members continued growth and stability. This additional diversification of our offerings continues Ascent down our journey to become the world-class MRO of choice for our customers.”

“The advanced capabilities and efficient solutions which IAI offers its customers, provide the solution having the best value available in the market, supporting the growing demand for cargo aircraft around the world,” said Boaz Levy, IAI President and CEO. “Today's signing of the agreement with Ascent represents a strong direct continuation of the many successful collaboration agreements already existing between IAI and USA companies. IAI's Conversions and Upgrades Business Line, Aviation Group, underscores the confidence that the company has in Ascent Aviation Services’ ability to set up a conversion site within the required timetable, and next year to carry out the first conversion."

Imagine a microburst lasting 45 minutes or so with sustained wind gusts over 60 miles an hour with hail and driving rain. That’s what the area surrounding Marana High School experienced Thursday from about 3:10 p.m. to about 4 p.m. Student dismissal is already a very tricky and difficult maneuver as it is but imagine trying to get over 2,000 students off campus in the middle of a severe thunderstorm.

While driving west on Twin Peaks Road near the pumping plant at about 3:15 p.m., I noticed the rain started getting thicker and the winds started to shake my truck. I looked over to my left and a power pole had tilted towards the road. There was still some blue in the sky and I wasn’t too worried about it but then another pole fell over and then another and the sky went dark grey.

At some point, the power lines cross over Twin Peaks and that’s when the power lines fell just inches over my truck and hit the pavement behind me, in traffic. I had missed damage by seconds. I figured those cars behind me were probably stuck there for hours. I continued to Marana High School and I slowly made my way to the parking lot, past all the stop signs that had blown over on Sandario and Emigh Road. I found a spot and waited for about 15 minutes, not knowing of any damage in the area.

I started walking through the lake in the parking lot as the rain calmed a bit towards the front office and I realized all the power was out. There were several large trees blocking Emigh in front of the school and traffic came to a stop. I immediately helped law enforcement and the ground crew remove trees from the parking lot and the main road. Then, I decided to walk to the football field, which was being refurbished with a new artificial turf to replace the one put in in 2013. Disaster.

Don’t count on home football games for awhile at Marana – least of the worries here. https://t.co/TmjmfjKSUN pic.twitter.com/0I4ZeNh59Q

— Andy Morales (@AndyMorales8) August 17, 2023

I’m told the new field was almost done with most of the turf put in before the storm. Now, it’s a lake with the turf rolled off, trailers flipped over and the padding all over the stands and the surrounding area. Marana’s first home game is scheduled for Sept. 1 against Tucson. The first flag football game is slated for Sept. 5. I’m not sure if there’s time.

Meanwhile, Mountain View is also getting a new turf field to replace the one also constructed in 2013. That field did not get hit by the storm that was limited to the west side of I-10 but the same crew is charged with fixing both fields according to sources. The first home flag football game is slated for Aug. 31 (against Marana) and the first tackle football home game is Sept. 1. I’m not sure if there’s time although, in my opinion, the Mountain View field should be the priority now.

Amazon will use its Marana delivery station but won’t say when

TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - An unwelcome delivery for some Marana residents still sits unused. The unmistakable Amazon delivery station at Ina and Silverbell roads, with its distinct color scheme, has yet to be put to use.

The delivery station would be where packages arrive and then are dispersed out on vans for that final mile delivery to customers. But the estimated delivery on when the building launches into action is uncertain.

“It was a bit of a shock, said Janell Merchen. She knew someone would build on the land across Silverbell Road from her home. But what took shape last year exceeded her expectations, and not in a good way.

“I didn’t expect that land to be developed with such one, big, massive type of building and corporation,” she said.

“We didn’t know it was going to be a huge, huge Amazon building,” said Alison Cardwell, who also lives in the neighborhood across Silverbell Road from the new building.

She’s waiting to see when the 220,000-square-foot facility will function as an Amazon building.

“It would be really unfortunate if they don’t use it and they built this big, ugly building to block our view of the mountains, but I’m not in any hurry for them to start it open,” she said.

“From a capacity perspective for Amazon, we serve a crucial function in making sure we get items to the southwest region in a timely fashion,” said Christopher Jordan, general manager of the TUS2 Amazon Robotics Facility, which is the large fulfillment center on Kolb Road on Tucson’s southeast side.

“We ship sortable units which is basically any unit that can fit in one of our 24-inch totes,” he said.

Robotics at the fulfillment center allow employees, called associates, to pick items from bins at their height on the carts, which are called drives, and place them in the yellow totes for shipping. This saves associates from walking through aisles of products and bending over or reaching above. The fulfillment center employs 2500 to 3000 employees and can ship a million items in 24 hours. At the peak of covid demand, they had 4400 employees.

“We’re a safe facility, we’re one of the safest facilities in the entire country, and so I think we offer a lot to the community and we offer a lot to those folks who decide to come and join us,” Jordan said.

An Amazon spokesperson did provide a response, but no firm timeline. The statement from spokesperson Zoe Richmond said, The delivery station slated for Marana remains in our plans. While we don’t have a specific launch date to share right now, once we have a better sense of timing, we’ll work with the local community and employment organizations in the area to hire for this facility.”

The Marana delivery station is about a quarter the size of the Tucson fulfillment center, but it’s more than Alison Cardwell wants across the street.

“I would expect more of that in Tucson, not in Marana,” she said but admitted that she uses the online giant. “Yes, and I better get my stuff within hours, being this close after all the inconvenience!”

Some neighbors did say they welcome the light from the facility and the fact that it is being maintained.

MARANA, Ariz. (KGUN) — Rising interest rates are driving some home buyers into rentals. With the increasing demand in Southern Arizona, Marana is working on stepping up to meet those needs with several rental-focused projects in the works.

"I pay $1,800 for a four-bedroom, two-bath house," Gwen Hart said. "It used to be $1,500 and it went up $300 from last year, which is pretty steep. I was expecting it to go up, but not by $300."

Hart, like many residents in Southern Arizona, has been impacted by the rising costs in housing.

"I moved here from New York and they're very sensitive in New York, and I really enjoyed the cost of living here in Tucson-Marana," Hart said. "It is definitely comparable to New York now and they're going up and it's a little less affordable than it used to be."

For some, the rising interest rates are driving up rental demands.

"It's probably very difficult for people to manage it," Ron Schunk said, "I bought a long time ago so I got it when rates were low."

In the meantime, the town of Marana is working to attract several rental developments in the area.

"The goal is to have the diverse options for people because not everybody wants to deal with a big yard and maintenance," Jason Angel, Development Services Director for the town of Marana said. "Some people just want that town home or smaller attached unit."
