A psychotherapy approach designed to help people process and heal from traumatic experiences. It helps the brain reprocess distressing memories in a way that reduces their emotional impact and promotes healing over time.
Early sessions focus on safety and coping skills. Then, at a pace you control, you briefly hold a memory in mind during gentle bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or tones) and notice what shifts. You don’t have to talk through every detail for it to work.
