What Is EMDR Therapy?

In this video I am going to explain what EMDR Therapy or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is. EMDR is psychotherapy developed for trauma or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). To find out more out PTSD check out my video What is PTSD    • PTSD Warning Signs   EMDR is one of 2 treatments shown to be effective for PTSD, the other is Trauma Focused CBT, to find out more about this check out my video What is the Best Treatment for PTSD EMDR is a slightly controversial treatment with critics highlighting concerns over the quality of the research, I will tell you a little more about this in the video. However, EMDR has been shown to be more effective than doing nothing and possibly as effective as Trauma Focused CBT.
