EMDR

EMDR is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate stress associated with traumatic memories. EMDR employs a body-based therapy technique called bilateral simulation.  During bilateral simulation, a therapist will guide a client through eye movements, tones, or taps in order to access and heal emotions and memories. EMDR helps clients to activate their natural healing process.

EMDR therapy is recognized as an effective form of treatment for trauma by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization and the Department of Defense.
