Why is EMDR so intense?
EMDR can feel intense because it activates memory networks connected to past experiences. As the brain engages with these memories, emotions or physical sensations may temporarily increase. This is a normal part of trauma processing but should always happen at a pace that feels safe. Therapists use grounding strategies and adjust speed to ensure you remain regulated. Though emotionally demanding at times, EMDR often leads to deep relief, clarity, and long-term healing as memories lose their overwhelming impact.
