EMDR Therapy
EMDR stands for 'Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing,' which is an abbreviation of the phrase's English equivalent. EMDR Therapy was discovered by Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1987 and is a trauma-focused therapy. It is used to treat individuals who have experienced distressing events in the past and to heal the symptoms caused by these experiences. These distressing memories are reprocessed through bilateral stimulation, which can be achieved through eye movements, auditory stimuli, and/or tactile sensations.
