emdr trauma therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is customized and was first created to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. In eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, the patient’s eyes are moved in a specific direction as they analyze traumatic memories. The goal of EMDR is to aid in recovering victims of trauma or other upsetting life events. This structured therapy motivates the patient to focus on their trauma memory briefly. Simultaneously, they experience bilateral stimulation, which is usually eye movements. This has an alliance with low vividness and trauma memories with emotion.
