EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing

EMDR is a psychotherapeutic treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989). It is an evidenced-based technique used to access and reprocess traumatic memories and experiences.  Through the multi-sensorial protocol new associations are formed between the traumatic memory and present-day healthy and safe circumstance.
