Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
What is EMDR?
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) was developed by Francine Shapiro and was used initially to help with the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
How does EMDR work?
EMDR seems to have a direct effect on the way that the brain processes information. Normal information processing is resumed, so following a successful EMDR session, a person no longer relives the images, sounds, and feelings when the event is brought to mind. You still remember what happened, but it is less upsetting. Many types of therapy have similar goals. However, EMDR appears to be similar to what occurs naturally during dreaming or REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.
