EMDR Therapy: What It Is and How the Process Works
EMDR works by helping your brain process unhealed trauma or distressing memories in a safe and controlled environment. During a session, you'll focus on a specific memory or issue and accompanying emotions, bodily sensations and thoughts while following the therapist's guidance, such as tracking the bilateral sound. This process supports your brain in reprocessing the negative emotions, thoughts and bodily sensations linked to the memory, which can reduce how distressing they feel over time.
How Does EMDR Work?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach focused on helping individuals process traumatic experiences and current triggers. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses forms of bilateral stimulation to help reprocess negative emotions, bodily sensations and thoughts. It is an evidence-based method; research on EMDR began with trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder and has since expanded to many other areas, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and loss and grief.
