How Trauma Drives Anxiety

Trauma can cause the nervous system to stay in fight-or-flight mode, leading to:

  • Panic attacks

  • Chronic worry

  • Physical tension

  • Sleep difficulties

How EMDR Helps Anxiety

EMDR addresses the underlying memories driving anxiety, not just the symptoms. As trauma is processed, anxiety often decreases naturally.
