A member asked:
My therapist wants to try emdr. does it really work and how is this done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is done: By having the person move their eyes in a coordinated manner while thinking about traumatic events. Eye movement desensitization reprocessing is particularly helpful for trauma (post traumatic stress disorder) & anxiety. It is often beneficial.
