Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy
Discovered and Developed by Francine Shapiro 1987

She initially noticed that disturbing thoughts changed with spontaneous eye movements into less disturbing thoughts, leading to adaptive resolution. Ie the negative charge was greatly reduced.
Only a few years later, they discovered that EMDR also leads to simultaneous desensitisation, cognitive restructuring of memory, the elicitation of spontaneous insights and increase in self-efficacy.
In 1990 it was discovered that other forms of bilateral stimulation (taps and tones) also had positive effects.
So, if you lived through trauma and you wish to free yourself from the negative impacts of these experiences, EMDR could help you to do just that.
