Full transcript

When our mind sees a threat, like a spider, the amygdala—our brain's alarm system—goes off. Sensory information passes through the thalamus, a bored gatekeeper deciding what gets through. Once past the gatekeeper, the alarm gets louder and rushes to the hippocampus, an Ugly-Betty receptionist who blocks it when we're too panicked, cutting off the frontal cortex, that are the wise elders holding all the answers in the brain. Unprocessed memories stay trapped, and triggers can set the alarm off again as if it's happening now. Understanding this helps us calm the system—this is exactly what EMDR therapy addresses.
