Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences. It involves a structured eight-phase approach, where clients recall distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, often through guided eye movements. This process aims to reduce the emotional charge associated with traumatic memories. EMDR is commonly used to treat conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and anxiety. Research has shown that it can lead to significant improvements in symptoms, helping individuals reframe their experiences and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The therapy is typically conducted by trained mental health professionals.
