EDMR

Although, Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) was started in the late 80s, and utilized extensively as an evidence-based treatment for PTSD, effective with depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, it is still unfamiliar to some clients.  EMDR facilitates the reprocessing of memories, and its associated thoughts, feelings and body sensations by having one focus on the distressing memory while simultaneously focusing on bilateral movement, most often repeated back and forth eye-movements.
