Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured form of psychotherapy that blends techniques from various therapeutic methods. The most distinctive element of EMDR is its use of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements, bilateral tapping, or bilateral auditory input. This bilateral stimulation is believed to facilitate the processing of traumatic memories. It has proven to be an effective and efficient way to treat unresolved emotional and physical symptoms that arise from negative life experiences. EMDR is endorsed as a valid treatment for trauma by numerous esteemed bodies, including the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, the National Alliance on Mental Health, the World Health Organization, the American Psychiatric Association, and the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Francine Shapiro developed EMDR in the 1980s with the intention of facilitating brain healing through neurological adaptation towards resolution. The therapy targets the discomfort associated with traumatic memories, addressing conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder in its various forms, ranging from acute to chronic and complex. By promoting structural changes at the neurological level, EMDR expedites the healing process.
