EMDR Trauma therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is an evidence-based method to help people to recover from trauma and distressing life experiences including PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse and depression. It is designed to help people process unresolved trauma and transform negative self-beliefs into positive adaptive beliefs.
EMDR is a cutting-edge trauma therapy that involves bi-lateral stimulation or eye movements. A key element of EMDR is the belief that eye movements (and other forms of bilateral stimulation including tapping) enhance the efficacy of therapeutic treatment through the development of physiological and neurological transformations. Unlike hypnosis which involves a trancelike state, EMDR patients are grounded in the present and guided to review the past.
