so you can move forward.

Research suggests that EMDR mirrors what happens during REM sleep, when the brain naturally processes emotional experiences. Over time, the memory remains, but without the emotional charge.You can recall it without feeling overwhelmed.

HOW DOES EMDR HELP TRAUMA?

EMDR helps the brain process the memory while you stay grounded (reactivating a memory while engaging both

sides of the brain through bilateral stimulation.

EMDR follows a structured process.

IT WORKS BY:

Reducing the brain's sense of threat in the

amygdala, and re-engaging the thinking brain

(the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex)

so the memory can be processed

and placed in the past.

Many people notice relief within the

first few sessions.

When something overwhelming happens, your brain’s alarm system activates:

The amygdala triggers fear and survival.

The hippocampus struggles to place the memory in the past.

The prefrontal cortex (thinking brain) goes offline.

The result: the experience is stored in a raw, unprocessed way, so it can feel present rather than past.
