​

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) was initially developed in 1987 by Dr. Francine Shapiro for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR is now also used in trauma counseling, in the treatment of anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, OCD, and more.

​

The process of doing EMDR therapy typically involves focus on a traumatic or disturbing memory while doing bilateral eye movements, listening to alternating tones, and/or engaging in rhythmic tapping. This process enables the brain to resolve emotional trauma and gain insight into the circumstance in a way that is often more effective than traditional talk therapy.

​

EMDR therapy sessions can be conducted in-person or via tele-health. For many clients, EMDR treatment can be completed in fewer sessions than talk therapy.  (EMDR Center of the Rockies)
