Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a relatively new treatment of traumatic memories that involves elements of exposure therapy and CBT, combined with techniques (eye movements, hand taps, sounds) that create an alteration of attention back and forth across the person s midline. While the theory and research are still evolving with this form of treatment, there is some evidence that the therapeutic element unique to EMDR, attentional alteration, may facilitate accessing and processing traumatic material.
