Is the brain truly wired to heal? In this blog, Kelly offers a trauma-informed perspective on the body and brain’s natural drive toward healing—and how EMDR therapy supports that process. Through the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, bilateral stimulation, and the safety of the therapeutic relationship, EMDR helps clients move from stuckness to integration—one memory at a time.

Bilateral stimulation (BLS) is one of the most powerful and unique elements of EMDR therapy. In this blog, Kelly explores how BLS helps the brain access stuck memories, calm the nervous system, and reorganize distressing experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. Learn what BLS does in the brain, how it supports healing, and why it's a key part of the EMDR reprocessing journey.

Ever wonder why certain thoughts, emotions, or body reactions seem to come out of nowhere? This blog explores how past experiences—especially those left unprocessed—can quietly shape our present-day reactions, beliefs, and symptoms. Using the metaphor of a tree, Kelly gently unpacks the connection between our history and our healing, offering insight and compassion for the parts of us still holding onto pain from the past.

Old experiences don’t have to keep showing up in your present. In this blog, Kelly explores how EMDR therapy helps untangle the emotional “roots” of stuck memories—so you can feel more grounded in the present and hopeful about the future. Learn how EMDR works, what healing can look like, and how change ripples through thoughts, emotions, and the body.

Bilateral stimulation (BLS) is one of the core elements of EMDR therapy—and it plays a powerful role in helping the brain process and heal from distressing memories. In this post, Kelly explains how BLS works in the brain, why it’s linked to REM sleep and emotional processing, and how it helps transform stuck memories into adaptive, manageable experiences.

In this guide for therapists, Kelly explores how EMDR therapy and bilateral stimulation (BLS) help clients process unresolved trauma. Learn how BLS supports neural integration, reduces emotional intensity, and activates adaptive memory networks—backed by neuroscience and grounded in clinical practice.
