EMDR Therapy

What is EMDR?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is an evidenced based intervention developed by Francine Shapiro. It uses bilateral stimulation to reprocess disturbing or traumatic memories and beliefs. We cannot erase the past, but EMDR allows us to reprocess past memories so they are no longer negatively impacting the present.
