What is EMDR?
EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a special psychotherapeutic technique that can be a very powerful treatment for people who have experienced trauma or are struggling with other distressing conditions. This form of therapy is based on research suggesting that traumatic events can prevent the brain from processing information as it normally does, which results from these events getting “stuck” in the brain’s information processing centre. Then, when someone who experienced trauma recalls it, the memory triggers an intense re-experiencing of the original event, complete with all it’s upsetting sights, sounds, smells, thoughts, and feelings. New incidents can have the same effect.
EMDR therapy uses eye movements or other alternate hemisphere stimulation to remove the emotional charges of traumatic memories. Researchers believe the therapy activates mechanisms in the brain that help you re-process the memory and the distressing emotions, and move toward resolving the distress.
