One of the variants that Neuroscenter offers in its services is EMDR.

EMDR is a technique created almost 20 years ago by Dr. Francine Shapiro to desensitize and reprocess psychological trauma in a natural and effective way.

This method is one of the psychotherapeutic treatments that have the largest scientific studies confirming its results. It is a complex psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation through eye movements to stimulate one hemisphere of the brain at a time.

EMDR has to do with eye movements during REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement). In REM sleep stages we are processing the experiences of the day. The brain processes them and archives them in its huge brain data bank.

EMDR

However, when we have a traumatic experience it seems that the brain fails to process the event, and the incident remains in our brain as a type of “neurological knot.” Some of the nightmares are thought to be unsuccessful attempts by the brain to try to process traumatic memories.

When we ask the patient to remember some event, situation, traumatic sensation, and then we help him to move his eyes in a certain way, this way it seems that the brain receives the help it needs to be able to process the event and archive it. The negative charge associated with the event is lost, and many times the positive memories associated with it that could not be perceived before are recovered.
