What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that uses eye movement to help you cope and heal from trauma. It was discovered in the 1980s by Dr. Francine Shapiro, who originally used it to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It’s based on the idea that “where you look affects how you feel.”
