What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of psychotherapy designed to help you recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.
How EMDR Works
EMDR helps the different parts of your brain communicate in order to allow trauma to be naturally processed. Although most of the time our brain can manage traumatic events and resolve them spontaneously, sometimes it needs an extra hand.
When trauma is left unprocessed, it feels as if it is "frozen in time," forcing us to relive it over and over again. EMDR helps unfreeze these memories so your brain can heal naturally.
