EMDR therapy, also known as eye movement and desensitization reprocessing, is a psychotherapy process that alleviates the distress associated with traumatic memories & events. Shapiro's model assumes that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing & processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experiences to bring these to an adaptive resolution. Successful treatment with EMDR therapy results in relieved distress, negative beliefs are reformulated & resolved, & traumatic memories do not resurface with negative connotation. Shapiro hypothesizes that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing of the traumatic memory network, so that information processing is enhanced, with new associations forged between the traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information. The new associations, as previously mentioned, do not have negative connotations but have new learning, processing, & elimination of emotional distress.
