EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a well researched and established technique that combines imagery, mindfulness, and cognitive techniques to meet the client's treatment needs.

What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR therapy is often used in trauma counseling and in the treatment of anxiety. The process of doing EMDR involves focus on a traumatic memory while doing back and forth eye movements, listening to alternating tones, and feeling alternating vibrations in your hands. This process enables the brain to resolve emotional trauma and gain insight into the circumstance in a way that is often more effective than traditional talk therapy.
The number of sessions required for this form of treatment varies depending on the issues being addressed. If there is a single traumatic incident that is the subject of the EMDR, then it can typically be resolved in five or six sessions, including the intake and preparation. However, for multiple traumas or a long history of past abuse, trauma or neglect, EMDR can take considerably longer for resolution of the issues.
