What Is Emdr?

👁️ Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is gaining popularity globally as a powerful psychological treatment to successfully fast-track track healing of individuals.

When disturbing events occur, the brain may struggle to process them as it normally would. These moments can feel “frozen in time,” where memories — with their images, sounds, smells, and feelings — remain vivid and distressing, as if the trauma is happening all over again.

Such memories can negatively shape how a person sees the world and relates to others.

How EMDR Helps

Unlocks “stuck” traumatic memories
Reduces the emotional intensity of past experiences
Allows people to recall events without being overwhelmed

After EMDR, a person can still remember what happened, but the memories are no longer distressing.

EMDR is not limited to trauma treatment. It is increasingly used for:
