Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy designated by the American Psychological Association as highly effective and empirically supported. This treatment modality is particularly supportive in the treatment of PTSD and other distress related symptoms. Our emotional well-being is intrinsically interwoven with our physical state. When we experience trauma, our brain processes and stores memories incorrectly. When this happens, sometimes this can lead to past memories feeling very present. In this way, EMDR employs a body-based technique called bilateral simulation during which a therapist will guide a client through through eye movements, tones, or taps in order to move a memory that has been incorrectly stored to a more functional part of the brain. This allows for painful memories to lose their charge and to ease cognitive, emotional and physiological symptoms of distress.
