Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, is an alternative form of therapy often used for past trauma. While this therapy isn’t as old as some techniques, it has been becoming more popular as people talk about its benefits.
Rather than treating mental illness with medication or traditional therapy, EMDR works differently. Instead, a patient’s rhythmic and quick eye movements are used to help them recover from trauma of all kinds. For example, it’s commonly used with PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) from experiences like vehicle accidents, physical assault, rape, or military combat.
EMDR was developed in 1989 by Francine Shapiro and is used by tens of thousands of professionals today. The inception of EMDR occurred when Shapiro was taking a walk and realized that quick movements of her eyes made negative emotions lessen. When used on patients, the same results occurred.
Childhood trauma helps by having you make eye movements while thinking about a traumatic event as a way to help you eliminate painful memories.
The bilateral stimulation used during EMDR gives you a point of focus as you think about unwanted thoughts and painful experiences from the past. Over time, this can make the memories less uncomfortable, so you can properly process them without intense mental discomfort.
EMDR therapy is effective for individuals dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, phobias, grief, and even chronic pain. It can also be helpful for those experiencing stress or emotional distress due to difficult life events.
