“And reinvent your life because you must; it is your life and its history and the present belong only to you.” -Charles Bukowski
We can feel so locked in – trapped in what we feel must be our future- because of our past.
Our beliefs can feel so accurate – about ourselves as less than – or of the world as a place where others fit and feel safe to participate but not us. 
But these beliefs have often been distorted by our experiences – trauma (big or little) that our brain couldn’t process adaptively – causing our conclusions to actually be inaccurate.
This learning 
can be undone. We can through EMDR therapy!
It allows us to see that we are in the here and now and no longer in the there and then – which means our beliefs about ourselves and the world have valid grounds for revision.
It allows us to become untangled from what once felt determined by our past and to own and author our trajectory.
