Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy that helps people heal from emotional and psychological trauma. It consists of standardized protocols that use memories and emotions paired with bilateral stimulation and body sensations to relieve and resolve psychological trauma and stress. Trauma affects the processing function of our brain. EMDR attempts to help process past and current trauma, decrease the emotional charge of memories (hence desensitization) and create links to positive memory networks (hence reprocessing).
EMDR can be helpful to people of all ages and has been proven to help treat:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Panic attacks
• Eating disorders
• Addictions
• PTSD
