What Makes EMDR Therapy Effective?
EMDR therapy is effective because it helps you heal in the body first. Once the body begins to feel safe enough to heal, EMDR therapy helps to integrate past stressful, trauma, or overwhelming experiences via bilateral stimulation. Through bilateral stimulation, the negative charges past experiences contain begin to defuse. This then leads to your specific thoughts about that experience beginning to change.
