What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a comprehensive psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues related to disturbing events and present life conditions. It has been tested in over 20 randomized controlled studies with trauma patients, and hundreds of published case reports evaluating a considerable range of presenting complaints; including PTSD, depression, anxiety, phobias, excessive grief, somatic conditions and addictions. The Adaptive Information Processing model guides the process. EMDR focuses on adaptively processing memories, which are the basis for the symptoms and dysfunction.
