How Does EMDR Therapy Work?

EMDR works by targeting the brain’s natural ability to heal from emotional distress caused by traumatic memories. During a session, clients focus on specific traumatic experiences while following the therapist’s prompts for eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. This helps reprocess the memory, reducing its emotional intensity and breaking the cycle of trauma-driven substance use.
