Recovering from trauma often requires multiple approaches due to the intricate ways trauma is stored in our brains and bodies. EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a specialized, evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It helps individuals reprocess distressing memories and associated thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations in a way that reduces their impact.
During EMDR sessions, bilateral stimulation is used, typically through eye movements, auditory tones, or tapping. This bilateral stimulation is thought to facilitate the brain's natural processing of information, helping to integrate traumatic memories more adaptively.
Trauma alters the way the brain processes information, particularly in regions responsible for threat detection, memory, and emotional regulation. Additionally, traumatic experiences can lead to physiological changes such as heightened arousal, hypervigilance, and stress responses. Effective treatment approaches need to address both the psychological and physiological aspects of trauma.
