EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING THERAPY (EMDR)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) is a unique, nontraditional form of psychotherapy designed to diminish negative feelings associated with memories of traumatic events. Unlike most forms of talk therapy, EMDR focuses less on the traumatic event itself and more on the disturbing emotions and symptoms that result from the event. The goal of EMDR is to fully process past experiences and sort out the emotions attached to those experiences. Negative thoughts and feelings that are no longer useful are replaced with positive thoughts and feelings that will encourage healthier behavior and social interactions. Ultimately, you will learn to handle stressful situations in your life.
