Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is a unique, evidence-based treatment approach that helps the body and brain heal emotional distress caused by painful life experiences. EMDR can be used with children, teens, and adults to overcome these challenges and get rid of emotional debris. This is a more directive form of therapy that engages the brain in bilateral stimulation allowing clients to process painful life experiences. Research shows EMDR can help people work through their distress in just a few months compared to years in talk therapy. A wonderful quality about this approach is that it does not require people discuss their distress or experiences in great detail unlike other approaches.
