EMDR and Neurological Damage

I have had right hemisphere damage my entire life. As a result, my habits and functioning tend to be more left brained---logical, organized, systematic, good memory for details, etc.
In the past few months, as I've done a number of EMDR sessions, I find myself becoming more right brained. I am more intuitive, spontaneous, do better on psychic tests, my coordination has improved, etc. At the same time, I am losing things all the time, leaving papers in messy piles on the floor, and forgetting things.
Can EMDR enhance functioning in one hemisphere and lower it in another? Is it reversing or getting around the brain damage that's been there since birth? Can it actually rewire neurons to work in different ways? I would appreciate any feedback.
