how does EMDR therapy work oh boy it's
0:03
the magic uh very simply put if we have
0:07
something bad scary helpless happened to
0:09
us and we weren't prepared to handle it
0:11
our brain locks it in as if that's
0:13
potentially something that could be
0:14
happening still our body ends up acting
0:17
as if the thing that was maladaptively
0:20
encoded uh is current and so we end up
0:23
with past present confusion and so EMDR
0:25
therapy we go back to the the things
0:28
that happen to us and we review them
0:30
using very specific protocol and um help
0:33
to catch up and connect up the thwarted
0:35
parts of our story with today so that it
0:37
matches the now and anything that got
0:39
stuck physically emotionally and tied
0:42
with those beliefs of self like I'm not
0:44
worthy I'm not enough I'm I'm not I'm
0:46
not in control I'm not safe those get
0:48
locked in with the way the memory is
0:49
held and so we help to review that and
0:52
unlock it and turn it into something
0:54
that just happened to us as opposed to
0:56
feeling like it's happening today
