Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Movement desensitization and reprocessing is a form of therapy, founded by Francine Shapiro. She found it on accident but what she started to connect was back and forth left to right eye movement triggered something in the body and in the brain that was helping bring down the emotional charge with an experience. When your nervous system gets too elevated and throws that off and you get these stuck points, what we can do in EMDR is bring up those stuck experiences and then use bilateral stimulation to mimic what happens during REM sleep and push it through to completion.
