EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured psychotherapy originally developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Francine Shapiro to help people process distressing memories—especially those linked to trauma.
Our brains have a natural way of processing information. However, when we experience trauma or distressing events, this system can become overwhelmed. As a result, memories—along with the images, sounds, thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations—can become “stuck,” much like a scene frozen in time. When something reminds us of the original experience, it can trigger the same painful reactions all over again.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is designed to help the brain reprocess these memories so they lose their intense emotional charge. This allows individuals to heal and move forward without being held back by the past.
