EMDR therapy focuses on unprocessed, distressing memories from past experiences that cause current discomfort. These memories, containing the original emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations, lead to problematic mental health concerns when activated. Unlike traditional therapies that focus on altering responses to an experience, EMDR changes the way distressing memories are stored in the brain, alleviating emotional distress and increasing overall  well-being. This approach to wellness follows a structured process incorporating bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or audio tones, which consistently stimulate both hemispheres of the brain at an even, steady pace. This technique maintains dual attention on the present while processing unresolved experiences, desensitizing the emotional charge of the memories, promoting their adaptive integration, and fostering emotional healing.
