EMDR — working through distressing memories.
EMDR is an evidence-based method for processing distressing memories. It is used for PTSD, anxiety disorders and the after-effects of trauma — also available online.
What is EMDR?
Bilateral stimulation that relieves the brain.
EMDR stands for “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing”. The method supports people in processing traumatic and distressing experiences.
The key feature: bilateral stimulation, often as lateral eye movements, helps the brain process distressing memories. Thanks to its scientific basis, efficiency and versatility, EMDR helps initiate positive change.
Forms of stimulation
- Lateral eye movements
- Gentle hand tapping
