What Is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy method developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s. Many studies have proven it to be an effective way for patients to reprocess traumatic experiences until they are no longer detrimental to their physical or mental well-being. EMDR has been successfully used to treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, phobias, grief, sleep difficulties and more.
What Happens During EMDR Therapy?
EMDR involves focusing on a traumatic memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping and auditory tones. The primary goal of this bilateral stimulation is to desensitize the patient to overwhelming emotions and enable them to reprocess memories, thereby reducing their impact.
Each session typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the patient’s responsiveness. While singular traumatic events may only take three to six sessions to alleviate emotional burdens, complex trauma may take longer.
EMDR is recommended by numerous medical and government organizations, including:
