Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a structured, effective therapy that uses bilateral stimulation to help clients heal from trauma. Many clients will experience a reduction in vividness and emotional intensity related to their trauma-related memories. EMDR has shown effectiveness with a number of mental health challenges including PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, anxiety, panic attacks, addiction, depression, sleep disturbances, grief, and sexual assault.

Trauma is more about one's perception of the event rather than the event itself.
