EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories, reducing emotional distress and PTSD symptoms.

EMDR is a structured form of psychotherapy, primarily designed to treat trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but also used for other mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation, most commonly guided lateral eye movements, but sometimes hand-tapping or audio tones, to engage both sides of the brain while you focus on a traumatic memory. This process is based on the Adaptive Information Processing model, which says that the brain naturally moves toward mental health, but traumatic events can block this process. EMDR helps remove these blocks, allowing the brain to reprocess the memory and integrate it adaptively.
