How EMDR Works
EMDR therapy is based on the idea that traumatic memories are improperly stored in the brain, causing distress when triggered. The therapy involves bilateral stimulation (typically guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones) while recalling traumatic memories, which helps the brain reprocess them in a less distressing way.

Why is EMDR Effective?
EMDR is different from traditional talk therapy because it directly targets how trauma is stored in the brain and helps process it rapidly. Many clients experience significant relief in fewer sessions compared to traditional therapy.
