Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapeutic approach developed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Initially introduced by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is rooted in the understanding that trauma can leave a lasting imprint on an individual's psyche, leading to distressing symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional numbness. The therapy involves a structured eight-phase process where clients are guided to recall traumatic memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, commonly through guided eye movements. This dual attention helps facilitate the reprocessing of the trauma, allowing individuals to integrate their traumatic experiences in a healthier manner.
