EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach used primarily to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce distress. During EMDR sessions, a therapist guides the client to recall troubling experiences while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, often through guided eye movements. This dual process helps the brain reprocess the memories, leading to reduced emotional charge and increased insight. EMDR has been found effective for conditions like PTSD and anxiety, allowing individuals to integrate difficult experiences into their life narratives and improve emotional functioning.
