How to use this site
I recommend you work through each item on the menu in order, so that you have an understanding of trauma and its effect on the brain and the nervous system, before moving on to learning how to work with your body to calm these effects.
Use the menu at the top of this page to explore the psychoeducation section, which will give you an understanding of how trauma affects the brain. Before you can process traumatic memories with EMDR, it is important that you are able to tolerate the emotions which may arise in or between sessions, so please practise some of the calming and grounding exercises to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally.
