What is EMDR?
/
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses techniques like snapping and tapping to create bilateral stimulation and rapid processing within the brain. Activating this process allows old memories, feeling and thoughts to be “digested” and replaced with a positive belief (Rininger, D). EMDR is evidence based and treatment ends when patients can visualize themselves in a future scenario where they were able to face the re-elaborated targets while feeling no emotional discomfort (Santarnecchi et al., 2019).
