What Is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro. It is based on the principle that traumatic experiences can disrupt the brain’s natural processing abilities, leading to unresolved emotional distress. EMDR aims to help individuals reprocess traumatic memories and alleviate associated symptoms by addressing both the emotional and cognitive aspects of trauma. By engaging in a structured and evidence-based approach, individuals can reprocess and integrate their traumatic experiences in a way that promotes healing and resilience. If you or someone you know is dealing with trauma, consider exploring EMDR therapy as a promising option for restoration and growth.
