    Further Information

    EMDR is a form of psychotherapy that was developed to resolve symptoms resulting from disturbing and unresolved life experiences. It uses a structured approach to address past, present, and future aspects of disturbing memories. The approach was developed by Francine Shapiro to resolve the development of trauma-related disorders as resulting from exposure to a traumatic or distressing event, such as rape or military combat. Clinical trials have been conducted to assess EMDR's efficacy in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In some studies it has been shown to be equivalent to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure therapies and more effective than some alternative treatments (see effectiveness sections below). EMDR may be used for various problems; its research support is primarily for disorders stemming from distressing life experiences.

    NICE the National Institute of Clinical Excellence recommends EMDR in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (2005). The guidelines are based on a number of high quality randomised control trails (RCT) that have provided an evidence base for the effectiveness of EMDR in the treatment of traumatic memories.

    EMDR has helped with many issues such as:

    * Trauma (resulting from accidents, disasters and emotional distress
    * Phobias
    * Anxiety
