EMDR
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an extensively researched and integrative method that allows you to quickly heal from the symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences.
Using bilateral stimulation (visual, tactile, or auditory), EMDR is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in your brain so they no longer cause you distress.
EMDR therapy is recognized as an effective form of treatment by many organizations including:
- American Psychiatric Association
- American Psychological Association
- US Dept. of Veterans Affairs/Dept. of Defense
- World Health Organization
- National Alliance of Mental Illness
- International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
