@Ankh: Thank you for sharing your experience I am so glad that your journey was a good one! I use the audio-sensory machine (beep sounds in the ear & buzzing sensation) bc the eye movement is uncomfortable for both client & therapist.
@Namaste: The brain (and maybe the mind in general) has no conception of past, present, or future. That time orientation is based on the mind's interpretation. When a person with trauma has a 'flashback' experience of past trauma event, they literally may be living/experiencing that trauma experience in the here-and-now. That's how powerful unprocessed past memories are.
When you bring your focus/awareness to the here-and-now, you begin to re-wire the brain to understand that you are not experiencing that trauma, and that you are safe in the present moment. You could rally your internal resources that you have right now, to send love/light to whatever past trauma that you had (that aspect of you that is traumatized).
