Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful psychological treatment method that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR therapy is designed to help individuals process and overcome the distressing memories of past traumatic events. It uses a structured eight-phase approach that includes the use of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements, to stimulate the brain’s information processing system.
The goal of EMDR therapy is to reduce the long-lasting effects of distressing memories by helping clients develop more adaptive coping mechanisms. This process involves recalling distressing events in brief doses while the therapist directs the client in engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or taps. Over time, this can lead to a decrease in the vividness and emotional intensity of the memories.
