Heard of EMDR but not sure what it is? Here's how it helps people heal from trauma.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a structured therapy that helps people process traumatic memories by using tools to deliver bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements), which involves engaging both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously. Over time, painful experiences lose their emotional intensity—and your brain can reframe them in healthier, more adaptive ways.
EMDR is especially effective for:
PTSD and trauma
Anxiety and panic
Grief or loss
Childhood emotional wounds
It’s not about reliving the trauma—it's about freeing yourself from it.
