Explanation of EMDR:

"When a disturbing event occurs, it gets locked in the brain with the original picture, sounds, thoughts, feelings and body sensations. EMDR stimulates the information and allows the brain to reprocess the experience. That may be what is happening in REM or dream sleep-the eye movements  help to reprocess the unconscious materal. It is your own brain that wil be doing the healing and you are the one in control." Francine Shapiro, PHD
