How EMDR Works
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment developed by Francine Shapiro in 1989, and there are now 30+ studies showing its effectiveness. EMDR has been shown to lessen emotional and physiological distress and transform negative thoughts into more authentically positive thoughts.
In a reprocessing session, you focus on a particular memory while watching flashes of light, watching your therapist move her fingers back and forth, holding a small tapping device, or tapping yourself on alternating sides of your body. This helps stimulate both sides of your brain in reprocessing the memory.
EMDR Can Help with Experiences Like
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Divorce
- Abuse
- Car accidents
- Addiction
- Feeling stuck
