EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychological therapy designed to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional distress. In a typical session, a trained therapist guides the client to recall distressing memories while following specific bilateral eye movements or other sensory inputs. This process is believed to help the brain reprocess the memory, making it less vivid and emotionally charged. EMDR is commonly used for conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and has been shown to be effective in promoting healing and improving emotional well-being.
