EMDR: What is it and How can it help you?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a non-invasive therapy approach in which early memories or incidents that are held in the nervous system are processed.

The processing of the memory allows the release of the memory and a more positive state of mind is achieved.
