Understanding EMDR
1:06:50 - 1:15:16 (08:26)
EMDR is a beneficial therapy for single-occurrence traumas, reducing the stress and anxiety related to the event by reducing the activation of the amygdala and related brain circuitries. Lateralized eye movements used during this therapy mimic self-generated motion and can reduce the amplitude of the threat reflex, thereby reducing sympathetic autonomic arousal.

Occluding one eye for a few hours early in life can lead to permanent changes in how the brain perceives the outside world, creating imbalances in the brain machinery that compares information coming in through the two eyes.
1:18:38 - 1:21:51 (03:12)
Summary
Occluding one eye for a few hours early in life can lead to permanent changes in how the brain perceives the outside world, creating imbalances in the brain machinery that compares information coming in through the two eyes. This can shut down the neural information for the occluded eye, leading to potential vision problems.
