CLINICAL APPROACH
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps you process distressing or traumatic memories so they stop feeling as raw in daily life. Using guided eye movements or another bilateral technique, it helps your brain reprocess a memory so it's stored with less emotional charge, without needing to describe the event in detail.

WHAT IT TREATS / WHO IT'S FOR
EMDR is best known for treating trauma and PTSD, but therapists also use it for anxiety, phobias, grief, and other distressing memories that continue to affect day-to-day life. It can be a good fit if you find yourself avoiding certain thoughts, places, or situations because of a difficult past experience.
EMDR is recognized by the World Health Organization (2013) and the American Psychological Association as an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD.
