EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences or distressing memories. It involves the use of guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation (like tapping or auditory cues) while the person focuses on distressing memories. The goal is to help reprocess these memories, reducing their emotional charge and helping the individual integrate them in a more adaptive way. EMDR is based on the idea that trauma can overwhelm the brain’s natural processing mechanisms, and it aims to facilitate healing by restoring the brain’s ability to process and store memories appropriately.
