In talk therapy, the Therapist actively listens as the individual discusses their thoughts, feelings, behaviors etc. The individual is supported as the Therapist provides a non-judgmental safe place for the individual to discuss trauma details. This has great benefits for many. However, many individuals have a difficult time talking about the trauma and get stuck in feeling frozen, scared and often dissociate. This is very common. With EMDR, the Therapist will focus only on body sensations and feelings and use Bilateral Stimulation with hand buzzes or headphones to help desensitize the sensations and feelings to help reduce trauma related somatic symptoms.
