• EMDR is used to treat PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
• An unresolved traumatic experience sits stored in the body and, when activated by triggers, you get "fight or flight" feelings
• EMDR reduces the intensity of re-experiencing, arousal, and avoidance symptoms
• New connections form between a traumatic memory and adaptive thoughts and feelings, such as "It's over I am safe now"
• You can desensitize to the intrusive symptoms, and your nervous system can rebalance
