Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy technique that helps people recover from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. It involves recalling traumatic events while the therapist guides your eye movements. The eye movements help your brain process the memories in a healthier way, reducing their emotional intensity. EMDR aims to desensitise and reprocess these memories so they no longer cause distress. It's like giving your brain a software update to process past traumas more effectively. EMDR has shown promising results in treating conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex-PTSD, panic, phobias, anxiety, and depression.
