Key Takeaways: What is EMDR? - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy originally developed to help people, such as veterans, process trauma and PTSD, but it is now being used for a wide variety of issues including complex trauma, depression, and phobias. Bilateral Stimulation - EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or hand buzzers) to facilitate "dual attention," allowing clients to safely reprocess distressing memories and beliefs in a stepwise, controlled, and supportive environment.
