What is EMDR?

Francine Shapiro created the psychotherapy technique known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in the late 1980s. Initially created to address PTSD, EMDR has since been used to treat several other mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and phobias. The basic idea of EMDR is that by using an eight-phase organized treatment strategy, traumatic memories that cause discomfort can be processed and incorporated more adaptively.
