EMDR is a psychotherapy technique designed to help individuals process and resolve distressing memories, often tied to trauma. Developed by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1987, EMDR offers an alternative to traditional talk therapy by working with the brain’s natural information processing systems.
It’s not about talking endlessly. It’s about helping the brain do what it naturally wants to do: heal.
EMDR represents a paradigm shift in how we approach mental wellness. Instead of reliving the past, EMDR helps individuals rewire their emotional responses—so the past no longer controls the present.
