Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - Edmonton & St. Albert Psychologists

What Is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy?

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a widely successful approach to processing and moving forward. EMDR was originally studied as an effective treatment for trauma but has recently been shown to be effective treatment for several other mental health concerns as well. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, usually eye movements, to process negative events in order to move them from trauma memory into normal long term memory. EMDR is a holistic approach that acknowledges that the body also holds our psychological experiences. EMDR works by both processing the cognitive concerns and removing negative sensations from the body.
