EMDR trauma therapy is a psychotherapeutic method aimed at reducing the discomfort linked to traumatic memories. It’s rooted in the concept that traumatic events can remain “trapped” in the mind, resulting in persistent emotional and psychological challenges. These trapped memories can appear as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, and various other debilitating symptoms. In contrast to conventional talk therapy, which frequently emphasizes extensive accounts of history, EMDR addresses the emotional intensity associated with the traumatic memory. It employs bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, while the person remembers a troubling memory.
