What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach primarily used to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences, especially Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It can also be used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and other emotional difficulties that stem from past experiences.
What is EMDR for?

Combat trauma, abuse, assault, accidents, natural disasters, etc.
Helps reduce flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional triggers

Especially useful when depression stems from unresolved grief or childhood issues.
