EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation such as guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones to help the brain reprocess memories, emotions, and beliefs that may be "stuck" or unhealed.

It’s like helping the brain finish processing past experiences so they no longer trigger distress. As these memories are integrated, individuals often experience emotional relief, clearer thinking, and new, healthier perspectives, supporting both healing and improved performance.
