EMDR Therapy started with the accidental discovery that eye movements could reduce the severity of disturbing thoughts. EMDR is a powerful psychotherapy approach. It is suggested that it affects the limbic system and amygdala in our brain, which are known to be associated with traumatic experiences. Traumatic memories remain trapped in the episodic memory section of our brain for long periods of time. During therapy, the right and left hemispheres of our brain are stimulated through eye movements, enabling the memories locked in our brain to establish a relationship with our other memories. In the treatment procedure of EMDR, which includes two-way stimulation, it stimulates our neurobiological
mechanisms and ensures that the memories that are locked in our episodic memory and that we do not want to talk about are activated and transferred to our semantic memory.
People are the source of all kinds of psychological problems. It is thought that the memories they experience, the emotions and thoughts they felt in their past lives
govern their present and future. With EMDR Treatment,

therapy is applied for 50 minutes for the first meeting and definition of the problem, and 90 minutes for ongoing treatment sessions. This therapy is a fast and effective method.
After the treatment, the person no longer feels uncomfortable talking about his problems. He sees his memories from a new and healthy
perspective. He truly believes that the events he experienced before are in the past and states that they no longer affect him negatively.
