EMDR Intensives for Food Allergy Trauma

Reclaim Peace

Living with or caring for someone with a life-threatening food allergy can feel like living in constant alert mode. A single mistake can mean a life-or-death emergency. For many parents and individuals, even the thought of eating outside the home, traveling, or attending social events becomes a source of paralyzing anxiety.

Food allergy trauma is real. Whether you’ve experienced anaphylaxis, emergency medical interventions, or chronic hypervigilance, the nervous system often gets stuck in a fear loop—constantly scanning for danger.

Common Trauma Responses We Address:

  • Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks from allergic reactions

  • Avoidance of food, places, or social situations

  • Constant worry and checking behaviors

  • Panic attacks or freeze responses

  • Feeling isolated, misunderstood, or judged by others

What Our EMDR Intensives Offer:

  • Focused sessions to process specific food allergy trauma memories

  • Techniques to calm the body’s alarm system and rebuild trust

  • A judgment-free space to express grief, anger, fear, or guilt

  • A chance to shift from survival mode into greater freedom and presence

We help individuals, parents, and caregivers feel safer in their bodies and in the world again.
