The art of self-EMDR for trauma recovery: Clear, creative strategies to calm anxiety, regulate emotion, connect with loved ones, and build joy & empowerment

The memories you least like to think about have more of a hold on you than you realize… and EMDR has the power to change that. Trauma affects us all… Even if we’re not the ones who have experienced it directly. It shapes our behaviors, our perception of the world, and the way we interact with others, and when we’re able to address it, we can make the world a kinder and more connected place. Whether you’re a therapist or someone searching for new inroads to emotional healing, your goal is to address trauma, and talk therapy is far from the only way to do this. In fact, to be truly effective, you need to engage the creative brain… and that’s where Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) comes in. EMDR is designed to ease the distress you associate with your most traumatic memories and experiences, combining cognitive, somatic, and emotion-focused therapies with bilateral stimulation—usually in the form of guided eye movements.
