What is EMDR?
"A kinder, gentler way of dealing with trauma"
William Henry Petty, Phd
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a structured psychotherapy approach designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories. During EMDR sessions, clients recall distressing experiences while undergoing bilateral sensory input, typically through side-to-side eye movements.
This process supports the reprocessing of traumatic memories, aiming to reduce the emotional impact and promote healthier cognitive integration. EMDR therapy is well-recognized in EMDR professional training and EMDR courses for its effectiveness in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related conditions.
