EMDR can be a powerful and effective tool in reducing the negative symptoms associated with traumatic memories. It works on a deeply subconscious level to shift the way memories are stored in the brain.
EMDR involves talking and bilateral stimulation (the use of alternating right, left stimulation), typically eye movements or tapping. Bilateral stimulation is used to activate and integrate information from the brain’s two hemispheres. The aim is to reduce distress and negative beliefs associated with past overwhelming or traumatic experiences that are having a significant impact on our mental health.
This is an extensively researched, effective and efficient psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from distressing life experiences like trauma (including PTSD), anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.
