How EDMR Can Help Overcome Trauma

by Alexa Mellman, MSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker



Over the past 20 years, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has gained increased recognition as an effective treatment for individuals grappling with the debilitating effects of trauma. Developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Francine Shapiro, EMDR has since revolutionized trauma therapy and provided hope for countless individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other traumatic experiences.
