EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of therapy used to treat symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. It involves having the patient recall distressing memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as following the movement of a therapist's finger with their eyes, to help process and integrate the traumatic experience. The theory behind EMDR is that the stimulation helps to "unlock" the memory and allow for more effective processing and healing.
