EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps you process and overcome past experiences and upsetting memories, that are intrusive and that affect your mental health.
This type of therapy can be used to help with a range of mental health difficulties including trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, addictions, and behavioral difficulties.
Eye Movement, Desensitisation, and Reprocessing Therapy can help kickstart the natural healing process. Negative images or traumatic memories can be remembered in different ways, helping to ease anxious and distressing feelings.
EMDR Therapy is recommended by WHO (World Health Organization)
QUOTE “In addition, referral for advanced treatments such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) or a new technique called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) should be considered for people suffering from PTSD. These techniques help people reduce vivid, unwanted, repeated recollections of traumatic events. More training and supervision are recommended to make these techniques more widely available.” – WHO (World Health Organisation)
If you compare other therapies, EMDR is relatively new. Since EMDR development it has become an effective technique, producing positive results quicker than other therapies.
