Do I have to talk about my trauma in EMDR?

No. EMDR focuses on how memories feel physically and emotionally, not just the story.

A Clinical Definition of Trauma & PTSD

Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing event, while PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing trauma. Both can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the world around you.

Symptoms of Trauma & PTSD

Emotional: Fear, anger, guilt, or emotional numbness.
Physical: Insomnia, hypervigilance, or being easily startled.
Cognitive: Intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or difficulty concentrating.
Behavioral: Avoiding triggers or isolating yourself from others.

How Trauma & PTSD Can Show Up in Your Life

Trauma can affect every part of your life, including:

Struggling to trust others or form close relationships.
Feeling like you’re constantly “on edge” or waiting for the next crisis.
Avoiding places, people, or situations that remind you of the trauma.
Feeling disconnected from yourself or the world around you.
