A 10-year-old Uvalde shooting survivor is using EMDR therapy to heal from trauma, and her mom says she is finding success so far.

as an eight-phase treatment in which patients "briefly focus on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation." The bilateral stimulation is typically done with side-to-side eye movements or other rhythmic stimulations like taps or tones. This treatment causes a reduction in the "vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.

"We're not wiping out memories, but we're reprocessing and reintegrating them with more positive—more kind of clear-eyed associations—so that it's something that you'll remember but it won't trigger the same emotional or physiological response that we see in PTSD," Brown said in an interview with ABC News.

"I made a promise [the day of the shooting] that I would help my daughter the best to my ability, and if it's driving an hour and a half to two hours to get her the appropriate health services, then so be it," she said. "The other problem is that sometimes recounting the details, that in itself is re-traumatizing," she said. "So with EMDR, we approach it from a different way. You don't have to have all the words and you don't have to have all the memories for it and you don't have to retell the story and relive it as we're reprocessing the events or the memory."

We should have alot of faith for our future bc of these children that have had to walk through the fire. They will possess compassion, and will understand the horrors of war, something that most of the ppl on Capitol Hill will never possess.

Why not LGBT BLM therapy?

That poor child. I hope she can find some relief.

EMDR therapy really works well. Hope it helps them as much as it helped me.

Very effective therapy without the need for drugs!
