EMDR: Not Just Eye Movements, and Definitely Not Hypnosis
Let’s bust some myths. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) isn’t woo-woo, and it’s not about reliving your worst moments. It’s a trauma therapy backed by decades of research, designed to help your brain reprocess painful stuff so it stops feeling like a current crisis. This post breaks down the basics of EMDR from Jamie Marich and Francine Shapiro’s work, explains why it can feel weird (but healing), and gives you a peek at what a session might actually look like—eye movements optional.
