Eye MovementDesensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.
During EMDR therapy sessions, your live traumatic or triggering experiences in brief doses while the therapist directs your eye movements.
EMDR is effective because recalling distressing events is often less emotionally upsetting when your attention is diverted. This allows you to be exposed to memories or thoughts without having a strong psychological response.
In this book, you will read:
the history of EMDR
the basics of EMDR therapy
the mechanisms underlying EMDR therapy
the implications for psychotherapy
and much more!
