How effective is it?
EMDR is relatively new to the psychology community, but it’s already gaining respect. After the session is complete, therapists ask the patient to rate their stress level. They ask this at the beginning of the session, as well, and compare the two numbers at the end. Research has found EMDR can be more effective than talk therapy in patients who have undergone trauma. This type of therapy is meant to help one reprocess painful memories, eliminating or minimizing both the psychological and physical symptoms one experiences when recalling such memories.
