Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences and distressing memories. During an EMDR session, a trained therapist guides the client through a series of eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, such as taps or sounds. This process helps to reframe negative memories and reduce their emotional impact. EMDR is particularly effective for treating conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and phobias. It aims to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories, promoting emotional healing and enhancing overall mental well-being.
