EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR Therapy) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma.
EMDR has helped millions of people of all ages to find relief from many types of psychological distress.
A substantial body of research shows that adverse life experiences contribute to both psychological and biomedical pathology. EMDR Therapy is an empirically validated treatment for trauma, including such negative life experiences. The positive therapeutic outcomes rapidly achieved without homework or detailed description of the disturbing event, offer an efficient treatment approach with a wide range of applications.
The underlying theory behind EMDR therapy suggests that traumatic experiences can overwhelm the brain’s natural coping mechanisms, leading to the improper processing and storage of memories. As a result, these memories may continue to cause distress and interfere with daily functioning.
EMDR therapy aims to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories by facilitating the reprocessing of those memories in a safe and controlled environment.
