EMDT Treatment for Veterans
EMDR's goal is to help you heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Unprocessed traumatic memories, frozen or locked in our nervous system, continue to affect how we perceive things, decisions we make, reactions we have and the beliefs we hold about ourselves and others. Present day triggers—situations that somehow remind us, consciously or unconsciously, of traumatic events from earlier in our lives—activate these unprocessed memories. This leads to destabilizing symptoms like nightmares, flashbacks, phobias, negative thinking and extreme episodes of anger, grief, shame and guilt.
