Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective therapeutic approach for reducing the lingering impact of trauma that wasn't fully processed at the time it occurred. When this happens, it can leave a person feeling "stuck" in the past, unable to fully experience the present. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation — such as hand tapping or guided eye movements — to engage both sides of the brain, supporting the brain's natural ability to heal and reprocess these unresolved experiences.
“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you.”

Tappers (pictured) are often used with EMDR for bilateral stimulation which facilitates emotional processing.
