EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.

The impact of childhood trauma is pervasive. Trauma absolutely includes major events where our life is threatened, and abuse and neglect, but it also includes what we call "Little t" traumas, also known as developmental trauma or betrayal trauma. Little t traumas can include, but are not limited to, emotional abuse, bullying, discrimination, harassment, public shaming, loss of a significant relationship, and non-life-threatening injuries/ hospital stays. It doesn't have to be one single event. We now know that trauma isn't what happens to us, it's what happens inside of us because of what's happened to us.
