What is
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence-based treatment for trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR helps individuals process painful memories and emotional distress that continue to impact daily life. Through gentle, structured sessions in a safe and supportive environment, EMDR therapy allows you to release the weight of past experiences and build emotional resilience. Healing with EMDR doesn’t mean forgetting—it means feeling grounded, confident, and connected as you move forward with greater peace and self-compassion.
EMDR therapy focuses on helping the brain release traumatic memories that are “stuck,” causing emotional pain and negative beliefs. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones, to activate the brain’s natural healing processes.
This therapy has been shown to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories, replacing them with healthier, more positive beliefs. Learn more about the research behind EMDR.
