What is EMDR therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapy, is designed to help people process and heal from traumatic events. EMDR is a highly effective treatment for those suffering from past trauma. It has been extensively studied and proven to be highly effective. It has also been shown to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and grief. Even performance anxiety can be managed with EMDR therapy. The American Psychological Association (APA) recommends EMDR for treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
EMDR is based upon the Adaptive Information Processing model (AIP), which states that past negative experiences, particularly traumas, can continue to cause stress in the present if they were not fully processed. Incomplete processing of an event can prevent connections to adaptive learning or new information that could help resolve trauma. These memories include emotions, thoughts, and beliefs that were present at the time. They can also contain physical sensations. The elements of the memory trigger a disturbance when the memory is activated.
