EMDR is a type of therapy. The name means Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Dr. Francine Shapiro created it in the 1980s. It helps people who had bad experiences. It can help with stress, fear, and sadness.

The main idea is simple. When you move your eyes, your brain can think about bad memories in a better way. The therapist helps you remember the bad event. Then the eye movements make the memory hurt less.

The eight steps

First, the therapist learns about your past and finds the memories that need help. Second, you learn to relax and stay calm. Third, you and the therapist talk about the bad memory and your feelings. Fourth, the therapist moves your eyes to make the memory less painful. Fifth, you learn to think about the memory in a better way. Sixth, the therapist checks if your body still feels bad. Seventh, the therapist helps you feel safe before the end. Eighth, you talk about the therapy and if you need more sessions.

EMDR has helped many people. But you need a good therapist who knows this method well. If you or a friend had a hard time, EMDR can be a good choice.
