Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that encourages you to briefly focus on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotional charge associated with the trauma memories. Unlike talk therapy, EMDR focuses less on the details of the event and more on the emotional and physical symptoms that result from it. By activating both sides of the brain, we help your nervous system move past the 'stuck' points where trauma resides, allowing for natural healing and a sense of resolution.
