Body and Brain Together
SOMATIC EMDR THERAPY
"Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders" (https://www.emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/).
Do you ever think back on a past memory and wonder why you feel so activated or filled with emotion after so much time has passed? A part of your brain is able to tell you it's an old memory that happened in the past and yet, your feeling body continues to feel the experience as if it happened yesterday?
This is the experience of trauma stored in the body and mind. Traumatic experiences and memories activate the part of the brain called the limbic system. The limbic system is the emotional brain. EMDR is a modality that supports the 'movement' of traumatic memories from one area of the brain to another allowing normal healing to occur.
All individuals have an adaptive information processing system. Trauma can disrupt the adaptive processes storing memories and experiences in a maladaptive way. EMDR allows us to clear out the past, make room for the present and future, and store memories in an adaptive way. This occurs through the use of bilateral stimulation/movement or dual attention stimulus and identification of emotions, body sensations, and thoughts.
