How Does EMDR Work?
When someone experiences trauma, it’s common for painful emotions and memories to feel stuck, making it hard to move forward. EMDR offers a compassionate way to revisit and gently reprocess these memories, helping the brain heal and find peace.
During an EMDR session, a therapist works closely with you, using soothing techniques like eye movements, tapping, or sounds while focusing on a specific memory or emotion. This calm, supportive process helps lighten the emotional burden of the memory, creating space for healing and growth.
