What Is EMDR Therapy?

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach that was first developed in the late 1980s. EMDR therapy is grounded in the belief that past traumatic events can create unprocessed memories that continue to negatively impact an individual’s emotional well-being and behavior.
During EMDR sessions, a therapist will help you:
  • Identify and focus on specific traumatic memories or triggering events
  • Use eye movements, hand taps, or auditory tones to help stimulate the brain’s natural healing processes
  • Process and reframe negative beliefs associated with the traumatic event(s)
  • Create new positive associations and coping mechanisms to replace the negative ones
The goal of EMDR therapy is to ultimately help you process and heal from traumatic events, reducing the emotional distress and negative symptoms associated with these experiences.

Common Issues Treated with EMDR Therapy

Since EMDR is primarily used to help individuals process deep-rooted trauma, the most common issues it addresses are related to post-traumatic stress, like:
  • PTSD and trauma-related issues
  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Depression and low self-esteem
  • Phobias and fears
  • Co-occurring addiction and substance abuse issues
EMDR can also be helpful for those who have experienced grief or loss, physical or emotional abuse, or other adverse life experiences that continue to cause distress.
