People of all ages in all eras took stock of themselves. In today’s digital age, unfortunately, this healthy process can rapidly devolve into low self-esteem.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a unique, evidence-based therapeutic technique that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and distressing life events. EMDR has recently gained recognition as a highly effective treatment for trauma conditions. But how exactly does it work?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR, for short) is a groundbreaking therapeutic approach that has helped millions of people recover from trauma and psychological distress. EMDR is now recognized as an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including PTSD from childbirth, childhood trauma, and other mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety.
