EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach designed to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences. It works by helping the brain reprocess upsetting memories so they become less emotionally charged and easier to manage. During EMDR sessions, the therapist guides the client through a series of eye movements or other forms of rhythmic stimulation while the person recalls a troubling memory. This process helps the brain "unstick" the memory and integrate it in a healthier way. EMDR has been extensively researched and is recognized as an effective treatment for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more.
