EMDR

EMDR is a processing therapy that shifts memories from long-term memory to working memory so you can look at them from different angles. Memories that are stored in your long-term memory stay mostly intact, unable to be processed. An unprocessed memory is like a photograph, where you only see what the camera focused on. This can be a serious problem for your brain because, like a photograph, you only capture a small part of the whole event. Working memory helps expand the lens so you can see all parts of the picture, which lets you see new details about past memories and effectively process them. Ultimately, EMDR lets you think about your past in new, healthier ways.
