Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is a trauma therapy that was created by Francine Shapiro in 1987 to address symptoms of PTSD. Since then, it’s been proven to effectively treat a variety of diagnoses. EMDR is different from traditional talk therapy, using the wisdom of the body and brain to heal from the ‘stuck’ feelings or beliefs you may be have about yourself and/or the world.
