EMDR Therapy in Wisconsin:
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic modality initially developed by Francine Shapiro for the treatment of trauma. EMDR incorporates bilateral stimulation in the form of eye movements or tapping. The bilateral stimulation is thought to activate the individual’s natural information processing abilities, similarly as they would be activated in REM sleep. This allows for the negatively stored information, the trauma, to be re-processed and stored adaptively within the individual’s past. The goal is for the trauma to no longer negatively impact day to day functioning.
