ABOUT THE SERIES: Memories of trauma tend to get compartmentalized in the brain. And when it comes to PTSD, symptoms can be physical, emotional, and even cognitive - like dissociation (which is common in those living with complex PTSD.) The psychology of trauma is more insidious than most people realize. As a psychologist, Dr. Judy Ho is an expert in the relationship between our memory of trauma and how they subconsciously impact our behavior, emotions, and thoughts. In this video and the rest of this series, Dr. Judy walks through just how EMDR allows patients to rewire their brains, process their emotions, repair those memories, and ultimately get their lives back on track.
