What is EMDR Psychotherapy? //

EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy originally developed for the treatment of trauma and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Besides that, research has shown that EMDR Psychotherapy is useful treating a wide range of traumatic experiences, also back in childhood, such as

In addition to trauma and PTSD EMDR psychotherapy is effective against a variety of other symptoms such as
