What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to help people process traumatic memories and other distressing experiences. It is based on the idea that when a traumatic or distressing experience is not fully processed, it can cause psychological distress. EMDR helps people to process these experiences in a more adaptive way, leading to reduced distress and improved functioning.
