The link is my favourite way to describe the bilateral stimulation that's experienced when using headphones in EMDR ( which I do ) , it's not EMDR music but it's close and pans across the brains hemispheres with the beat ( and people report it makes them feel good. . ). The main part of EMDR after preparation work is to target a traumatic incident , but the EMDR distracts and stimulates so the trauma isn't experienced at full force and can be processed. It will go to other connections and " clusters " of feelings and some connections are surprising. It's hard work like any trauma work is , but it's very worth it.
