EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured psychotherapy that helps individuals process trauma and alleviate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and related conditions. Using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, EMDR reduces the emotional intensity and vividness of distressing memories without requiring clients to discuss them in detail. The therapy follows an eight-phase protocol, including history-taking, preparation, desensitization, and reevaluation, to address past traumas, present triggers, and future challenges. Through this process, clients replace negative beliefs with positive ones and resolve residual physical and emotional distress. EMDR is tailored to individual needs, progressing at the client’s pace, and equips them with tools for emotional regulation and self-care. Research has shown it to be highly effective, often outperforming traditional methods like medication for trauma recovery.
