EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a psychological treatment designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy with bilateral stimulation, typically through guided eye movements, although other forms of bilateral stimulation (like tapping or auditory tones) can also be used.
I was trained through EMDR masterclass and regularly practice this with clients.
