EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy is a structured, evidenced-based psychotherapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It involves guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation while recalling distressing memories and specific beliefs about the self. This allows the brain to reprocess them with newly gained insight, reducing the memory’s emotional intensity. EMDR is widely used to treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders.
