FAQ
How is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy different from other therapies?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy doesn’t require detailed discussion or homework. It targets unprocessed trauma, helping the brain resume natural healing by shifting distressing emotions, thoughts, and behaviors—often in fewer sessions than traditional therapy.
How does Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy affect the brain?
The brain naturally works to heal from trauma through the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. However, some experiences can leave us feeling “frozen in time,” stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process these memories so the brain can heal, allowing the memory to remain without the intense emotional response.
Who can benefit from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps children and adults of all ages. Therapists use EMDR therapy to address a wide range of challenges.
“Nothing exists in a vacuum. Reactions that seem irrational are often exactly that. But irrational doesn’t mean that there is no reason for them. It means that the responses come from a part of our brain that is not governed by the rational mind. The automatic reactions that control our emotions come from neural associations within our memory networks that are independent of our higher reasoning power.”
― Francine Shapiro
