Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

RA Oddy, MD Psychiatry LLC utilizes specialized treatment approaches to help manage the impacts of trauma and anxiety:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative type of psychotherapy that has been extensively researched and has been shown to be an effective treatment of trauma. Oftentimes, when we experience trauma in life, our brain has difficulty processing related information as it normally does. Certain moments can feel “stuck or frozen,” and remembering traumatic events may feel just as bad or upsetting as the event itself was. These types of memories or experiences have a lasting effect that can be quite negative and significantly interfere with life or the way we see the world and relate to others. EMDR allows us to recall traumatic events in a less upsetting manner. For a thorough description of EMDR, with FAQ, please see www.emdria.org
