TERAPIA EMDR

What is it about?

EMDR (from the English Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Desensitization and reprocessing through eye movements) is a therapeutic approach used for the treatment of trauma (Post-traumatic stress disorder) and more common and emotionally stressful problems.

It focuses on the memory of the traumatic experience and is a comprehensive methodology that uses eye movements or other forms of alternating right/left sensations to treat disorders directly related to traumatic or particularly emotionally stressful experiences.

It is a standardized psychotherapeutic approach, scientifically proven by more than 20 randomized controlled studies conducted on traumatized patients, and documented in hundreds of publications reporting its effectiveness in the treatment of numerous psychopathologies including depression, anxiety, phobias, acute grief, somatic symptoms and addictions.
