What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This evidence-based psychotherapy approach uses bilateral stimulation to help individuals safely process traumatic memories and move toward healing. An EMDR therapist typically follows an eight-phase treatment approach, which includes:
History taking, to identify target memories
Treatment planning, to outline goals and direction
Desensitization, to reduce emotional distress tied to trauma
Installation, to replace negative beliefs with positive ones
Body scan, to identify lingering physical tension or discomfort
Closure, to ensure emotional stability at the end of each session
Reevaluation, to assess progress and remaining concerns
Integration, to apply insights and skills to daily life
