EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a therapy that helps your brain process thoughts and feelings, with the use of bi-lateral stimulation.
EMDR therapy is an eight-phase trauma treatment that comprehensively identifies and addresses experiences that have overwhelmed the brain’s natural resilience or coping capacity.

In a typical EMDR session, a client focuses on a troubling memory. With a trained EMDR psychotherapist, the client identifies the negative belief that they have about themselves.
The brain processes this information with the use of bi-lateral stimulation, which desensitizes information, allowing for a shift in this information and a transformation.
