Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocess Therapy (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy that helps clients heal from trauma, distressing memories and events, and strong emotions. Because traumatic experiences get “stuck” in the brain, these memories are not fully processed causing emotional distress, flashbacks, or intrusive thoughts. EMDR helps clients reduce vivid, unwanted, repeated recollections of traumatic events, by processing these traumatic memories, teaching the brain that the event is over.
