Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that helps people deal with upsetting experiences, like traumas, accidents or difficult memories. During sessions, clients focus on these memories while also paying attention to something happening at the same time, like movements such as tapping hands or feet or the therapist moving their hand. This helps the brain process the memories as if looking through the window of a train, making them less distressing.
