What is EMDR?
After experiencing trauma or difficult emotions connections in the brain become isolated to protect us. Our brains and bodies becomes overwhelmed with information and locks the trauma in unconscious memory in order to keep us safe. When environmental cues trigger sensory details from the trauma experience our body responds with panic or fear even if we consciously do not have an explanation. EMDR or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is a heavily researched treatment approach that uses bilateral stimulation—meaning both sides of the brain are accessed—through eye movements, buzzers, or tapping to access and reprocess those stored memories and intense emotions.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
- Viktor Frankl
