Everything You Need To Know About Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing; The New Type Of Psychotherapy
November 29, 2017
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is quickly gaining prominence as a successful form of psychotherapy in which bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) is used to help individuals cope with traumatic memories and emotions. These are traumas that the individual has experienced in the past as well as difficulties that they are experiencing in the present. Over the course of multiple therapeutic sessions, a licensed therapist guides the client through a total of eight phases, which culminates in the individual who underwent treatment being able to assess the progress they have made during the course of their EMDR sessions.
