What Is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps people process and recover from traumatic experiences, distressing memories, and negative beliefs. EMDR uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess trauma, so it no longer causes overwhelming emotional responses or interferes with daily life.
