The EMDR technique directs the concentration of attention on the experiences that underlie traumatic events, while simultaneous rhythmic eye movements help to reduce their intensity. The so-called desensitization effect occurs.

The method is successfully used when working with patients with the following psychological problems:

Self-doubt
Prolonged depression
Phobias and fears
Various disorders
Experiencing acute grief due to the loss of a loved one
Consequences of participation in military conflicts
