EMDR Process

[er-cryptid]

EMDR

-- stands for “eye movement desensitization and reprocessing”

-- a form of psychotherapy

-- developed by Francine Shapiro

-- commonly used to treat PTSD in adults

-- is believed to somewhat mimic REM (rapid eye movement) sleep

-- REM sleep is believed to be when processing occurs

-- the patient will recall their distress while undergoing bilateral sensory input

-- also used to treat trauma and PTSD in children and adolescents

-- 8 phases

-- treatment length depends on the number of traumas and age of onset
