EMDR is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. It catches the body up to what the mind already knows that the trauma is now over.

​

Through EMDR emotional distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced.

​

During the EMDR sessions the client is instructed to focus on an image, negative thought, and/or body sensations while simultaneously engaging in EMDR processing using sets of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, taps, or tones.
