EMDR
noun[ U ]
psychology specializeduk /ˌiː.em.diːˈɑːr/ us /ˌiː.em.diːˈɑːr/
abbreviation for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: a form of treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder(= a condition in which a person suffers severe anxiety or depression after a very frightening or shocking experience which they often have strong, sudden memories of) that involves using controlled eye movements to try to help the brain deal with frightening or shocking memories:
EMDR helps the brain reprocess memories of the traumatic event so the negative images, emotions, and physical feelings they cause have less impact.
If you're suffering, it may be worth trying EMDR; you'll probably know after just one session whether it will work for you.
EMDR combines a standard behavioural technique, exposure to a traumatic memory in a supportive setting, with a series of rapid eye movements intended to reprocess disturbing memories.
In some circumstances EMDR may work better than conventional psychotherapy.
