EMDR

What is EMDR?
    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a scientifically validated
    integrative psychotherapy. It is a phase-oriented approach to treatment, including a
    uniquely combined protocol, within a standardized procedure, grounded in the theoretical
    foundation of the Adaptive Information Processing model. It is based on the philosophy
    that human beings are capable under appropriate conditions of naturally moving toward
    greater health and integration. EMDR is used to resolve disturbing emotional material
    secondary to traumatic or disturbing events, as well as a means of potentiating positive
    emotional states, in order to facilitate natural growth and healing processes.
