Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an empirically proven and comprehensive approach that helps individuals access and process traumatic memories and adverse life events that are affecting the present. The Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model guides traditional EMDR therapy in addressing memories that were overwhelming when they happened and, as a result, were not adequately processed.

Research has shown that traumatic memories are stored in the brainstem as raw pieces of sensory data. When these unprocessed memories are activated in the present, the result is emotional and physical disturbance. The unique Somatic and Attachment Focused (S.A.F.E.) EMDR therapeutic approach from PTI is a trauma-informed model that considers how trauma affects an individual’s ability to regulate the nervous system and to connect with others (emdr-training.net).
