EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy designed to help people process and heal from traumatic or distressing memories.
EMDR is a structured form of psychotherapy that helps individuals process traumatic memories that may be “stuck” in the brain, causing emotional distress, anxiety, depression, or PTSD symptoms. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require detailed discussion of the trauma; instead, it focuses on changing the emotional and cognitive responses associated with distressing experiences The therapy is based on the principle that the brain has a natural healing process, similar to how the body heals from physical injuries, and EMDR helps remove blocks that prevent that healing process. EMDR is an evidenced-based practice with decades of research behind it.
