EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and ReprocessingEMDR is one of the most highly recommended approaches for treating emotionally disturbing life events. It works to relieve current anxieties by fully processing unresolved issues from the past. In the safety of the present moment, EMDR targets the original cause of disturbing emotions and uses simple eye movements to provide relief. The premise being that these eye movements provide neurological and psychological effects helpful in the resolution of painful emotions. EMDR also targets a replacement belief to continue the positive effects into the future. Backed by significant empirical research, EMDR has been proven to be highly effective in relieving distressing emotions and beliefs. The benefit of this approach is due in part by combining several effective psychotherapies to maximize treatment results. This form of therapy is very specialized and requires practitioners to complete extensive training and certification programs.
