Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach that has been shown to be effective in treating trauma and other distressing life experiences. It involves the use of bilateral stimulation, with the most common being side-to-side eye movements, to help process traumatic memories and reduce their impact. EMDR aims to help individuals reprocess negative beliefs about themselves that have stemmed from past experiences, leading to symptom reduction and improved emotional well-being. This therapy is often used in combination with other therapeutic techniques to provide comprehensive support for individuals seeking healing from past traumas.
