EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an 8-Phase therapy approach that contains procedures that have been thoroughly examined by research. It is important that the specific protocol is followed and that the treatment is conducted by a therapist who is formally trained in EMDR.
EMDR does not require the client to go into detail about the distressing events of the past. Unlike many “talk” therapies, there is no need to analyze the trauma for long periods of time.
