Initial successes prompted further development of the model, which has been heavily researched and shown to be effective for a variety of problems.
It is believed that EMDR works by prompting the nervous system’s natural healing mechanisms to address traumatic experiences that have become “frozen in time” and therefore not affected by the natural processes of healing we are all born with.
In an EMDR session, a person calls to mind disturbing events while the therapist facilitates dual stimulation of the mind through eye movements, auditory stimuli, or gentle tactile stimuli.
This process is gradual and respects the individual’s need for approaching trauma and disturbing emotional material in a way that does not overwhelm them or create additional crises.
