What is Somatic EMDR?

1 min read

EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — is a well-known approach for helping the brain reprocess difficult memories so they lose their charge.

Somatic EMDR adds the body to that process. Because trauma isn't only stored as a story; it's stored as sensation, tension, and survival responses held in the nervous system.

By tracking what's happening in the body as we work, we keep you within your window of tolerance — present enough to process, safe enough not to be overwhelmed.

The aim is simple to say and profound to feel: that the past can finally feel like the past, instead of something you're still living inside of.
