What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s. It's recognized by the World Health Organization and the American Psychological Association as an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD.
At its core, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—typically side-to-side eye movements—to help the brain process difficult memories and reduce their emotional charge. While full EMDR therapy requires a trained therapist, bilateral stimulation exercises can be used independently for general stress relief and emotional regulation.
