what is emdr?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured therapeutic approach that prompts individuals to briefly concentrate on traumatic memories while simultaneously undergoing bilateral stimulation, often in the form of eye movements. This process is linked to a decrease in the intensity of the emotions and vividness associated with the traumatic memories.

Extensively researched and proven to be effective, EMDR therapy is a psychotherapeutic method that aids individuals in recovering from trauma and alleviating symptoms of PTSD. Ongoing research consistently highlights positive clinical outcomes, showcasing EMDR therapy as a beneficial treatment for various disorders, including anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences (Maxfield, 2019). Notably, EMDR therapy has demonstrated superiority over Prozac in trauma treatment (Van der Kolk et al., 2007).

According to Shapiro and Forrest (2016), more than 7 million individuals have successfully undergone treatment by 110,000 therapists across 130 countries since 2016, underscoring the widespread success and global impact of EMDR therapy.
