What is EMDR and How Might it Help Me?

If you sometimes feel like you understand your trauma, you’ve talked about your trauma, but it’s still impacting you - your experience is not uncommon. Research tells us that trauma is stored in the body, not just the brain. When we only talk about traumatic experiences, we might understand well what has happened to us, which is important, but not the whole story. To experience relief from symptoms, many folks need a deeper level of processing. EMDR is one well supported tool for such processing.
