Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches.

EMDR is a nonverbal approach to processing and reprocessing distressing experiences. The aim is to allow those experiences that produce distress to be “digested” and stored appropriately in your brain. You can reintegrate empowered and stable perspectives when responding to distress, anchoring positive beliefs and experiences that will guide you in the future.
