What is EMDR?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It works by using bi-lateral tones listened to on headphones, tapping, and/or eye movement while thinking about the trauma. On the outset it looks very simple...and it is very different from traditional talk therapy. There are many theories, but no one is quite sure how it works. Here is what it looks like during a session: www.youtube.com/watch
