Your heart races during a meeting. A sudden noise makes you freeze. Small triggers send you spiraling for hours. These reactions might feel random, but they reveal something important about your nervous system.

Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. Some feel butterflies before a big presentation. Others might feel their heart race when running late. Maybe your mind spins at night, replaying conversations or worrying about tomorrow.

You don't need perfect recall for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to work. Many women seeking anxiety treatment worry they can't remember enough details from past experiences.

Between work demands, family responsibilities, and the constant pull of notifications, your nervous system can get overworked. You know you need relief, but who has time for hour-long meditation sessions or elaborate self-care routines?

A common concern people have when considering EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is whether it can help them if they don't have clear memories of their trauma.
