EMDR works by guiding individuals through a structured process that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. During a session, you’ll be gently directed to focus on a specific memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as following the therapist’s hand movements with your eyes or experiencing rhythmic tapping. This dual focus allows the memory to be revisited without overwhelming you, reducing its emotional intensity over time. The goal is to help your brain process the memory in a healthier way, so it no longer triggers distress or disrupts your daily life.
