5. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) ▪ Picture this. A woman walks into a therapist's office complaining of depression and unpleasant memories stealing up on her. The therapist sits the patient down, has her call up and concentrate on a specific mental image relating to one such memory, and asks the patient to follow with her eyes the therapist's outstretched finger as it is waved rapidly side to side 20 or so times in front of the patient's face. In one session, the patient is relieved of distress and the memories are anxiety-provoking no more.
