Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR is an empirically validated treatment for trauma.
"EMDR therapy is not just about healing trauma; it's about reclaiming power over your narrative, transforming wounds into wisdom, and finding strength in resilience." - Dr. Francine Shapiro
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process distressing memories and traumatic experiences. It involves using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or taps, to facilitate the brain's natural healing process and alleviate emotional distress associated with past traumas. EMDR aims to help individuals reprocess traumatic memories, reduce their emotional charge, and develop more adaptive coping mechanisms.
