EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy is an evidence- based approach to treating trauma that was developed by Francine Shapiro in the 1980s.
EMDR works by engaging similar brain mechanisms as those that are involved in REM sleep. During REM sleep, the brain processes the memories of the day and files them away for long term storage. Sometimes, when a traumatic or emotionally charged thing happens, it can be hard for the brain to process under normal circumstances. The traumatic experience almost become stuck, waiting to be filed into long term, but can’t get there because it is so sensitive to triggers.
EMDR helps to desensitize the experience so that it can be processed in the brain properly.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy at Steadfast is remarkable and can be a great onramp to healing for many people.
