EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

• Developed in 1987, by Dr. Francine Shapiro, EMDR is one of the most exciting and powerful methods for positive mental change in use today.
  Its remarkable results with trauma victims all over the world have brought continuous demand for its use, and awards from numerous countries for its tremendous effectiveness. Wherever in the world there is crisis or catastrophe, there are EMDR therapists at work now. “EMDR is now the best researched and validated way of treating posttraumatic stress disorder.”
  (T. Cloyd, www.emdrportal.com).
• Many research studies have shown that after EMDR, "the painful event or trauma becomes an unfortunate memory but no longer produces the emotional pain that it did before." The post trauma symptoms, (agitation, insomnia, trouble concentrating, reliving the traumatic events, etc.) diminish or completely disappear. Research on EMDR shows that these positive results hold over time. (See Resources and Events for more information).
• During EMDR processing, another very important benefit appears. Clients find that they get new perspective on themselves — moving away from self judgment toward a new appreciation of their competence and strength.
