Dr. Amen explains why he recommends EMDR
Jan 8, 2026
I’ve been smiling watching this clip because what Dr. Daniel Amen describes is exactly why I continue to advocate for EMDR.
I’ve seen again and again, how powerful it is when the brain is given the chance to reprocess stress and trauma instead of staying stuck in it.
Rooted in Francine Shapiro’s groundbreaking work, EMDR helps bring up what’s been stored, allows the nervous system to move through it, and then lets the emotional charge soften and release. What once felt overwhelming no longer has the same hold.
This is why I believe so deeply in this work!
Healing doesn’t require endlessly reliving pain, our brains already know how to heal when we support them well. ✨
