Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence‑based therapy designed to help people heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. Instead of relying solely on talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds, to help the brain reprocess memories that feel “stuck.”
In this class, students learn how EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to heal, why it’s effective for trauma and anxiety, and what an EMDR session typically looks like. The goal is to build a foundational understanding of how EMDR reduces emotional intensity, promotes resilience, and helps individuals move toward healthier patterns of thinking and feeling.
