EMDR therapy for beginners and seniors: Effective EMDR therapy beginners guide for anxiety, panic, PTSD and trauma

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) refers to an interactive psychotherapy technique used to relieve psychological stress. According to the theory behind the approach, traumatic and painful memories can cause post-traumatic stress when you don’t process them completely. Then, when sights, sounds, words, or smells trigger those unprocessed memories, you re-experience them. This re-experiencing leads to the emotional distress and other symptoms recognized as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Being able to achieve a state of relief from any physiological arousal created from these disturbing memories The process of EMDR therapy first starts off with being able to recall these memories and the negative feelings associated with it, while simultaneously focusing on important factors such as eye movement, tapping fingers, or any other kind of external stimulus. This is followed by brief periods of focusing on any new associations or sensations which may arise from this process which may be cognitive, emotional, or physiological.
