EMDR is one of only two modalities approved by the NHS, APA (American Psychological Association), US Defence Department and WHO (World Health Organisation) for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Although originally developed for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), EMDR has since be found to be highly beneficial in the treatment of most other diagnoses and psychological distress as well as in the treatment of pain, addiction and in the processing of painful memories and past experiences so that these become less powerful and can be let go of.
