In this interview with psychotherapist Raffaela Witting, we explore how EMDR works, what happens in the brain during therapy, and why certain experiences can continue to affect us long after they happened.
Raffaela shares insights into memory processing, the role of the nervous system, and how healing can happen when difficult experiences are gradually integrated — emotionally, cognitively, and physically.
A few thoughts that stayed with us:
→ EMDR doesn’t erase memories — it changes how they are stored and experienced. The goal is not to forget the past, but to reduce its emotional intensity.
→ Processing happens step by step, at a pace the person can tolerate.
→ Healing can mean regaining a sense of control, connection, and presence.
Thank you, Raffaela, for sharing your perspective and helping make trauma-informed knowledge more accessible 💚
