EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is an evidenced-based treatment for PTSD with efficacy in treating many other issues, including anxiety, depression, panic, and phobias. EMDR is a holistic treatment that addresses traumatic memories and targets emotion, cognition, and somatic aspects of disturbing experiences. EMDR does not require the client to share details about traumatic events or engage in time-consuming homework assignments, instead tapping into the brain’s self-healing properties through bilateral stimulation.
