Answer 1

I’ve been through emdr. It’s a in-depth process to reprocess trauma. In my experience it’s similar to meditation but with a guide who is there in case you have a wild trauma response. It happens when people have been through horrors. But once you face things you realize memories/feelings don’t remain the same intensity and then you remember how to let it go. Best way I could explain. Hope it helps
