A Look at EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the evidence-based methods often used in trauma-focused therapy. EMDR helps individuals reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact. By using guided eye movements, EMDR allows your brain to reframe these memories in a way that promotes healing.
