symptoms of trauma, as well as other emotional conditions.\u00a0 EMDR is the most effective and rapid method for healing PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) as shown by extensive scientific research studies.<\/p><p>EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation, right\/left eye movement, or tactile stimulation, or sound, which repeatedly activates the opposite sides of the brain releasing emotional experiences that are &#8220;trapped&#8221; in the nervous system.\u00a0 This assists the neurophysiological system, the basis of the mind\/body connection, to free itself of blockages and reconnect itself.<\/p><p>EMDR allows a client to process an emotional experience that he\/she cannot yet talk about, yet following an EMDR session find an ability to talk about it freely.\u00a0 Most importantly, it can eliminate stress surrounding the traumatic event, with the purpose of allowing new life into the once traumatized and emotionally difficult memory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element

First, it &#8220;unlocks&#8221; the negative memories and emotions stored in the nervous system, and second, it helps the brain to successfully process the experience.<\/p><p>The therapist works gently with the client, guiding him or her to revisit the traumatic incident.\u00a0 When the memory is brought to mind, the feelings are re-experienced in a new way.\u00a0 EMDR makes it possible to gain the self-knowledge and perspective that will enable the client to choose their actions, rather than feeling powerless over their re-actions.\u00a0 This process can be complex if there are many experiences connected to the negative feelings.\u00a0 The EMDR therapy sessions continue until the traumatic memories and emotions are relieved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

Therefore, the negative thoughts and feelings of the traumatic event are &#8220;trapped&#8221; in the nervous system.\u00a0 Since the brain cannot process these emotions, the experience and\/or its accompanying feelings are often suppressed from consciousness.\u00a0 However, the distress lives on in the nervous system where it causes disturbances in the emotional functioning of the person (nightmares, vigilance, emotional numbness, avoidance of things that remind one of the
