Reversing Reciprocal Suppression in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex: A Hypothetical Model to Explain EMDR Effectiveness (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)
A theoretical model is proposed to explain desensitization during EMDR as resulting from the reversal of reciprocal suppression of cognitive processing in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).
