Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Overview
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that helps process traumatic memories by guiding a person to focus on a particular event while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements or rhythmic tapping. This dual focus is believed to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, allowing the brain to reprocess the experience and diminish the distress associated with it.
EMDR is a structured, eight-phase therapy effective for conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related disorders, giving the space for clients to recover and heal from past traumas.
EMDR is a great option for clients who want to process an event with little to no verbal recall.
