EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy model that enables people to heal from the emotional distress resulting from traumatic life experiences.
Through EMDR therapy, the mind can heal wounds from psychological trauma in the same way the body recovers from physical trauma. When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, pain is experienced. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes.
EMDR is useful in treating emotional trauma
EMDR has been proven to be extremely effective in treating deep psychological trauma. It can be equally effective in treating the “everyday” memories that are the reason people have low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, and the myriad problems that cause them to seek therapy.
Millions of people have been treated successfully with EMDR, many feeling empowered by the very experiences that once debased them. Their wounds have been not just closed but transformed.
