What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR is based on the concept that the brain is able to heal from emotional wounds through information processing. EMDR is an approach to psychotherapy that has continued to offer countless individuals the opportunity to achieve therapeutic goals and give them the tools for leading happier lives which are no longer influenced by past disturbing events. However, when one experiences events under traumatic or repeated disturbing circumstances, this information processing system can break down resulting in pathology. EMDR helps jumpstart that information processing which promotes the client's ability to resolve the experience and learn from it.
