EMDR Trauma Therapy: Transforming Trauma with Eye Movement DesensitizatioN

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR Trauma Therapy) helps trauma by facilitating the processing of distressing memories through a structured therapeutic approach. During EMDR sessions, clients focus on traumatic memories while simultaneously engaging in guided bilateral stimulation, such as pulses or sounds. This dual attention process helps reprocess the traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and altering their impact. By reprocessing these memories, EMDR helps clients integrate them into their broader life narrative, leading to diminished distress, improved emotional regulation, and enhanced overall functioning.
