"eye movement desensitization and reprocessing"کی تعریف اور معنی

What is "eye movement desensitization and reprocessing"?

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy technique that helps individuals process memories and experiences that have caused trauma. It involves using bilateral stimulation, which activates both sides of the brain by switching between visual, auditory, or tactile activities from the right side of the body to the left. This can include side-to-side eye movements. The goal of these activities is to reduce the intensity of disturbing thoughts and feelings associated with traumatic events. EMDR aims to support the brain's natural healing process by encouraging it to reorganize traumatic memories in a healthier way. This therapy is used to treat conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and other trauma-related disorders, aiming to ease symptoms and support emotional healing.
