EMDR is a readily used therapeutic modality to help treat trauma. Each and every one of us has varying degrees of tolerance, and thus we hesitate to rely on a blanket definition to identify what is/is not a traumatic experience. What can be true, however, is that a traumatic experience causes dysfunction to our nervous system.

EMDR creates an opportunity to refile our experiences in a way that creates more ease, and decreases the reaction or volatility we may experience.
