Many therapies exist for mental well-being, and EMDR is one of them. So, why would someone choose EMDR? In order to answer this question, let’s review what it is and how it benefits the client.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It sounds fancy, however it’s purpose is simple: help people heal.
EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. There is a wide range of events that can be defined as traumatic – from what might be considered the stuff of ordinary life such as divorce, illness, accidents and bereavement to extreme experiences of war, torture, and PTSD.
It is believed that EMDR works by permitting the traumatic memories to be accessed and then processed both emotionally and cognitively, which allows for their resolution.
