The Neurobiology of Adaptive Information Processing

In EMDR, we're directly engaging with an information processing system. And so not only does the past reveal why we're having the symptoms that we're having in the present, but it also is the place that we go to understand why is this particular human processing their world and their life the way that they are. So it's not just about the symptom, it's also about the good stuff and it's about the personality. The interaction between genetic potential and environmental shaping can be incredibly relevant when we're understanding the whole human being.
