Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Phobias, Sleep Problems, Addictions, and Pain.
When a disturbing event occurs, it can get locked in the brain with the original picture, sounds, thoughts, feelings and body sensations. EMDR procedures seem to stimulate the information and allow the brain to reprocess the experience. That may be what is happening in REM or dream sleep. The eye movements (tones or tactile) help reprocess the memory and the associated experiences. It is your own brain that will be doing the healing and you are the one in control.
​
The overall goal of EMDR is to improve your symptoms and help you feel better.
