Trauma can leave your brain stuck in survival mode, impacting how you think, feel, and respond. Key brain structures like the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex play a major role in this process. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps reprocess traumatic memories and restore balance to the nervous system. In this post, we explore the brain science behind trauma—and how EMDR supports lasting healing.
