Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR Therapy)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a type of therapy used by a trained professional to help their client process events or disturbing thoughts. EMDR utilizes 8 phases to help people process using bilateral stimulation. The bilateral stimulation such as bilateral tapping, eye movements or auditory sounds to allow the brain to use both sides of the brain to process the event, memory, or thought. When the brain uses both sides of the brain to process, it allows the brain to rewire the neuro pathways allowing the client to think differently about the situation.
