Emdr Therapy

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process distressing memories and experiences. Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is recognized as an effective treatment for conditions such as:

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Anxiety and panic disorders

  • Depression

  • Phobias

  • Grief and loss

  • Addictions

  • Chronic pain

When a disturbing event occurs, it can get locked in the brain with the original picture, sounds, thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. EMDR procedures seem to stimulate the information and allow the brain to reprocess the experience. That may be what is happening in REM or dream sleep. The eye movements (tones, tapping, and other forms of bilateral stimulation) help reprocess the memory and other associated experiences. It is your own brain that will be doing the healing, and you are the one in control.
