How It Works
EMDR is an approach designed to assist in processing distressing memories and reducing emotional distress associated with them. It includes a structured eight-phase protocol incorporated with Bilateral Stimulation (BLS). BLS, commonly delivered through side-to-side eye movements, handheld buzzers, or butterfly tapping, activates parts of the brain in charge of processing. This helps reprocess traumatic memories, diminishing their emotional intensity and enabling the development of more adaptive beliefs and coping mechanisms.
