Unconventional therapy called EMDR helps with traumatic memories

But there is help. An unconventional therapy developed in 1989 called EMDR is proving to be effective. EMDR is short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. It’s taking thoughts and reprocessing them. It works by having the patient recount the trauma, while moving their eyes back and forth. It’s a kind of distraction that in effect, tamps down the traumatic event’s fear. [Excerpt]
