The core principle of EMDR is that the brain's natural healing process can be blocked by traumatic memories. EMDR therapy helps to unblock this process by using bilateral stimulation—most often side-to-side eye movements—while the person focuses on a distressing memory.
This process helps the brain to reprocess the traumatic memory, reducing its emotional intensity and vividness. The goal is not to erase the memory, but to change how it is stored so that it no longer triggers an overwhelming emotional response. This allows the individual to move toward a more adaptive and healthy resolution of the trauma.
