how does emdr work?
when a trauma happens it triggers your survival brain. the experiences of the trauma don’t fully get processed leading to nightmares, seemingly unexplainable stomach sinking feelings, and more.
emdr allows for healing of the mental injury by revisiting tolerably distressing aspects of the event to support the nervous system in learning that the danger is over.
this is done by the use of eye movements or tapping so that when these memories are revisited there is an aspect of presence and not being fully immersed in the memory.
from there, maladaptive information gets integrated in with adaptive information to support you in feeling whole again.
