This video by Dr James Alexander (www.drjamesalexander-psychologist.com) presents an explanatory background for EMDR. It includes discussion on the nature of psychological trauma, and how the mind/brain is able to naturally 'digest' these experiences. EDMR is suggested as an option when this natural psychological digestive ability is not adequate for the task, in that it replicates the mind/brain's innate digestive abilities. This is Part 1 of a 2 part series of information which he gives to his clients in the preparation for undergoing EMDR. See Part 2 as well.
