How does EMDR actually help us?

EMDR simply helps us move from being stuck. Often times, I have found that many people including myself will report "I know logically I'm ok or I'm good, but it just doesn't feel that way". This is exciting what EMDR targets. EMDR helps us feel differently. It accesses our emotions, body sensations, and sane thoughts instead of extreme negative thoughts. EMDR is one of the few modalities where is encompasses so many different therapeutic approaches in combines it into one modality. It accesses our cognitive, our emotional, and somatic and serves as a vehicle for healing.
