EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively
researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma
and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic
disorders. EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or
completing homework between sessions. EMDR therapy, rather than focusing on
changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue,
allows the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR therapy is designed to
resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. For many clients, EMDR therapy
can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies.
EMDR therapy is recognized as an effective treatment. More specific information on
treatment guidelines and information can be found on EMDRIA’s website.
