EMDR

EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a type of therapy that can be helpful for people who have experienced trauma or other distressing events such as what front line workers such as Paramedics encounter, accidents or anything that has shocked your nervous system to create an experience of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It works by targeting the way the brain stores memories and supporting the brain to process those memories and record them differently, allowing the nervous system to shift it’s state.

Here's how EMDR can contribute to a safer and more regulated nervous system:

  • Reprocessing Trauma: When we experience trauma, the overwhelming emotions and sensations can get stuck in our nervous system. EMDR helps us revisit these memories in a safe space while using bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping). This is thought to stimulate the brain's natural information processing system, allowing it to reprocess the trauma and lessen its emotional hold.

  • Reduced Distress: By processing the trauma, EMDR can help reduce the intensity of negative emotions, flashbacks, and nightmares associated with the event. This allows the nervous system to shift out of a heightened state of arousal and return to a calmer baseline.

  • Improved Emotional Regulation: EMDR can also help us develop healthier coping mechanisms for dealing with stress and strong emotions. This gives us more control over our nervous system's response to challenges, promoting overall emotional regulation.

Overall, EMDR can help create a safer nervous system by:

  • Reducing the impact of past traumas

  • Lessening emotional reactivity

  • Enhancing our ability to manage stress
