Exactly how EMDR training should feel.

Thanks for the lovely feedback!

Trauma doesn’t just live in memory — it affects how the brain processes and responds in the present.

This article gives a clear overview of how trauma can “hijack” normal processing, and why approaches like EMDR can be so effective in helping the brain reprocess those experiences.

A useful read for anyone working in mental health, or interested in how trauma-informed approaches support recovery.

Understanding the neurobiology of trauma, from the silent Broca’s area to the overactive amygdala, can be a pivotal step in moving from survival to a validated recovery.

Actor, activist and presenter Jameela Jamil shares how EMDR therapy transformed her life in a powerful podcast conversation with Michael Rosenbaum.

She describes EMDR as something that “completely re-wired my relationship to trauma and fear” and credits it with having a life-saving impact. Michael also opens up about his own positive experience with EMDR therapy.

Conversations like this continue to highlight the real, lasting impact EMDR can have when delivered safely and appropriately by trained clinicians.
