Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy used for:
Defeat Trauma and PTSD
The traumatic memories stored in the brain not only get triggered when spoken about but are also linked to other memories. Hence, the trauma may create distress often. Changing the way the trauma is stored in the brain will reduce its effect on overall emotional responses.
Bullying Trauma
The shame and embarrassment caused by bullying creates negative emotions about self and others. These emotions impact the perception and personality. EMDR works on resolving the negative emotions to replace them with positive ones.
Grief
It is difficult to process grief; which is why many grievers perceive it a trauma. EMDR teaches healthy coping techniques to process the grief and resolve the triggers that bring emotional distress.
