Painful memories can’t be erased and forgotten, but you can process and let go of the disturbance they carry. You don’t have to carry the heavy energy of the past with you. There’s freedom in letting go.
What Is EMDR?
Talking about painful memories or trauma may not be enough. This is when Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, can be so helpful. EMDR is a therapy modality that helps process blocked, subconscious, and disturbing information, allowing your body-mind to release it. It targets your thoughts, feelings, negative beliefs, and body sensations at the same time. It accesses your right brain and integrates it with your left brain. It helps you process everything not only cognitively and emotionally but also somatically. EMDR focuses on your past, present, and future, unlike many other modalities that only focus on one at a time.
