Dr. Rena Conley, PhD

I have extensive PTSD, some from childhood and continuing in adulthood from recapitulation and more. I did therapy, talk and talk and little to no progress. Rena suggested EMDR and what a change this has given me. I am no longer feeling like I am 'surviving' and recently discovered my anxiety has diminished exponentially. Visiting unprocessed emotions and thoughts, and having Rena be so maternal, and having a professional reframe my experiences when so young has removed the 'demons' that have chattered inside my thoughts for years. I equate this to chopping a tree down at the trunk where just cognitive talking only cut the leaves... they grew back eventually. Rena got to the source of the pain or the 'original sin' so to speak and the technique of EMDR is mind bobbling. I dont walk around on constant 'on guard' and I am now enjoying my time inside my head. I dont have nightmares anymore and my self questioning has diminished to almost zero. I was viciously abused and as an… adult did not have the skills to figure out how to live. Rena became such a rock of support and of true internal changes. A true professional that not only guides with her education, but guides personally with her own heart. What a woman. What a healer. Just sent another friend to see her and found this 'review' section and had to write this. I have sent dozens and every person responded with the same vigor. That they finally found the right key to unlock the chains of abuse, bondage to traumas of abandonment, denial, sexual abuse and more. Welcome to a maternal and brilliant mind with a compassion that is hard to find in any clinician. This woman taught me how to live. Survival is now a memory being replaced by such calm. Words cannot encompass what this woman has given me. One visit will help understand that last sentence. She is profound in her abilities. Beyond a therapist. If a bodhisattva is a spontaneous wish and compassionate mind to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings, you will meet one when you visit this doctor. She is a real healer.
