Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process traumatic experiences, manage anxiety, and alleviate symptoms of depression. It works by facilitating the brain's natural healing process, reducing emotional distress associated with difficult memories and removing reactivity to triggers in present day.
Symptoms can vary, but here are some common signs:
- Anxiety: Panic attacks, social avoidance, fear of places where escape might be difficult, physical symptoms like stomach problems, obsessive thoughts, or specific fears. Children may display anxiety through concentration problems, hyperactivity, or anger.
- Depression: Persistent sadness, lack of interest in activities, low energy, sleep issues, appetite changes, feelings of hopelessness, social withdrawal, or physical symptoms like headaches. In children, this can manifest as irritability, anger, or fatigue.
- Trauma: Nightmares, avoidance of reminders, hypervigilance, dissociation, or a need for control.
