Fear vs Excitement
How to simply enjoy what you are doing?
Miss Elizabeth Alfaro-Alvear
Licensed Clinical Psychologists
“As a Psychologist, I offer you therapy to help you to regulate your nervous system. We can reduce acute stress after an adverse experience, or a period of feeling overwhelmed or facing situations that negatively impact us. Preventing the exacerbation of these symptoms and improving your quality of life.”
About Me
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Singapore. I treat relationship problems, mood disorders, and stress or burnout. I support personal development through individual and somatic psychotherapy, online therapy, and mental health nursing.
Approach
Individual sessions with an EMDR approach are an excellent way to modify our maladaptive neural networks in a pleasant and safe environment.
Starting our prosses. I will teach you to explore your nervous system, detect threat signals in your body, identify early emotional triggers to reduce the stress response, coping resources and much more, with the purpose of learning to transform your thought patterns, beliefs and maladaptive neural connections.
We will meet once a week or every other week for a processing session focused on the area of your interest. I will provide guidance to you throughout this procedure, ensuring that it is customized to meet your specific requirements.
We work in cooperation. From a state of total presence, I'll be there for you every step of the way. The process of EMDR processing doesn't require you to share the worst parts of your past or talk about it in depth; even if you don't express it verbally, your brain will continue to process the bodily sensations and emotions associated with the events.
This therapeutic model offers a holistic view of the person, from their vital development, attachment system, and social roles. It will help you to reduce anxious, depressive, or post-traumatic stress symptoms, integrate different aspects of yourself, as well as optimize your ability to create more spontaneous and authentic responses.

Services
I have developed expertise in utilizing the EMDR approach, somatic regulation, and Polivagal Theory to guide the treatment process.
My therapeutic approach promotes the functioning of the Nervous System by incorporating psychoeducation, somatic practice for stress relief, inner child work, attachment repair, inner parts work, and reprocessing memories. Mind-body healing at the nervous system level.
Have you ever been through situations that tighten your chest, shrink your body, and it has been difficult for you to think and act clearly?
I understand you; I provide support to clients who are experiencing distress caused by intrusive symptoms such as an overwhelming feeling of fear, sadness, intrusive negative thoughts, or intense sensory experiences such as feeling agitated, blocked, or butterflies in the stomach.
These issues are both distressing and frustrating for our daily routine, and cannot be resolved on their own.
Stress can get trapped in the body and nervous system and impact natural healing. My mission is to help you find where the stress is stuck in your body, and help to remove it, so you can feel free and reduce the overwhelming sensation.
The approach focuses on regulating your nervous systems' activation, shifting it from a survival mode to a stabilization and calm state. This is achieved through the reduction, desensitization, and elimination of intrusive symptoms, which allows the brain to process the adverse experience organically and return to regulating itself.
If this is what you are looking for, please contact me to set up a 15-minute free consultation and explore if this approach is a good fit for you.
