EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a unique and evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to treat individuals suffering from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR utilizes a structured eight-phase protocol that includes elements of cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic therapies.

​

The core of EMDR lies in its ability to facilitate the processing of distressing memories through the use of bilateral stimulation, typically achieved through eye movements, auditory tones, or tactile sensations. The benefits of EMDR are manifold, with numerous studies demonstrating its efficacy in reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and associated symptoms.

​

By addressing unresolved trauma, EMDR can foster emotional healing, improve self-esteem, and enhance overall mental wellbeing. Additionally, EMDR has been found to be effective in treating various other mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and phobias, making it a versatile therapeutic tool for a wide range of emotional challenges.
