EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach which has been proven effective for the treatment of trauma. This integrative approach assists clients in the reprocessing of disturbing memories and cognitions leading to decreased distress.
Scientific research has established EMDR as effective for post-traumatic stress. However, clinicians also have reported success using EMDR in treatment for various other conditions as well, such as:
Panic attacks
Complicated grief
Dissociative disorders
Disturbing memories
Phobias
Performance anxiety
Stress reduction
Sexual and/or Physical abuse
