 Have you heard of the treatment technique that can help heal traumatic memories? It's called EMDR therapy, and it's different from other forms of talk therapy that you might be familiar with. Here's how it works. EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. According to psychologist Melissa Beeson-Smith, EMDR therapy helps you work through trauma. It's used as a treatment for PTSD. In EMDR, you focus on a traumatic memory and the negative feelings associated with it. At the same time, you concentrate on a visual or sound, like two lights that flash back and forth, until you don't feel as much discomfort from the memory. Later on, you focus on a new belief while also thinking about the trauma. Like, this wasn't my fault, and I'm safe now, and over time this belief can start to feel true. Have you tried EMDR?
