Research

[MountainGirl]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post . I couldn't figure out where to put this question. Recently, somewhere, maybe here on OOTS, I read that there is a Stanford University researcher who concluded that EMDR is effective because it extinguishes the fear response. I have no clue what that means. But wherever I read this the researcher claimed that the eye movement part of EMDR is critical to success of  the treatment. I guess there has been criticism of the technique claiming that it is simply a placebo effect. But this Stanford guy has concluded No, the effect on the brain is physical and very real. Does anyone know who this fellow is or where his research is stashed? Many thanks for any help with this.
