EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a powerful method in treating psychological issues. It is estimated that half a million people have been successfully treated with EMDR and have benefited from this method. EMDR has become known for successfully treating PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). It is extremely helpful in the treatment and resolution of the disturbing experiences and trauma that mold and affect many of us. EMDR is a systematic approach involving bilateral sensory stimulation, such as eye-movement, tapping or sounds, that are administered while a client focuses on difficult feelings, anxiety, psychological and somatic symptoms or disturbing memories. EMDR activates an individual’s normal healing abilities to resolve traumas leading to more positive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. There is now scientific research to back up this claim.
