Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a powerful therapy intervention which has been very successful in helping people who suffer from trauma, anxiety, panic, disturbing memories, post traumatic stress and many other emotional problems.
EMDR can bring quick and lasting relief for most types of emotional distress.
The EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation, right/left eye movement, or tactile stimulation, which repeatedly activates the opposite sides of the brain, releasing emotional experiences that are “trapped” in the nervous system. This processes aids the neurophysiological system, the basis of the mind/body connection, to move from blockages to reconnection.
As troubling images and feelings are processed by the brain via the eye-movement patterns of EMDR, resolution of the issues and a more peaceful state are achieved.
