Holistic Health Unpacked

Traumatic memories can get stuck, causing distress long after the event. EMDR is a structured therapy that uses bilateral stimulation, like guided eye movements, to help the brain's natural processing system file away these memories correctly. This dual-attention process can reduce a memory's emotional intensity without extensive talk therapy, integrating it as a past event rather than a current threat.
