EMDR RESOURCES AND EDUCATION

Please use this page as a resource to support new learning and help you launch yourself into a

new and improved version of YOU!

EMDR utilizes the neuroplasticity of the brain- the lifelong ability to learn, assimilate, and adapt- to new information. Our brain has the an innate, organic competence to learn new information-

• cognitions (what we tell ourselves about ourselves),

• insights (how new information connects to old information), and

• body experiences ( muscle tension, GI distress/nausea, chills, tremors/shaking, shutting down, fatigue, etc)

When we acquire new information or practice a skill, our brain physically adapts its structure, strengthening active pathways and pruning away unused ones.
