EMDR Therapy

EMDR is a psychotherapy technique developed by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s. It operates on the principle that traumatic experiences can disrupt the brain’s natural information processing abilities, leading to the persistence of distressing symptoms. EMDR aims to restore this natural healing process by facilitating the reprocessing of traumatic memories and integrating them into one’s personal narrative.

​

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from different treatment approaches.
