Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a new psychotherapy method used to treat people's past trauma — or the painful symptoms caused by distressing experiences. But unlike a regular psychotherapy treatment, the healing process with EMDR is much shorter. Plus, you don't have to talk extensively about or relive your traumatic experiences. What Is EMDR Therapy and How Does It Work? EMDR therapy is a guided process in which you move your eyes toward the therapist's fingers (also known as lateral eye movement) while processing stressful memories.
