EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a method of
psychotherapy that is best known for it's use of eye movement. It has been shown to be effective in numerous research studies, primarily for PTSD
post traumatic stress disorder. The approach is more
sophisticated than the impression you get when it is called "finger waving" or is referred to as a recovered memory therapy (inaccurate), or as a form of energy therapy or hypnosis.
