How EMDR Therapy for Trauma Works

When you experience trauma, your brain doesn’t always process the memory correctly.

It can stay stuck in its original, distressing form.

That’s why certain reminders can make you feel like the event is happening all over again.

EMDR Therapy for Trauma helps your brain reprocess these memories.

Through bilateral stimulation such as eye movements, tapping, or sound tones, your brain learns to store the memory differently.

You still remember what happened, but it no longer triggers the same overwhelming emotions or physical reactions.

The World Health Organization and American Psychological Association both recommend EMDR as one of the most effective treatments for trauma and PTSD.
