EMDR is powerful and effective psychotherapy and is highly recommended for successful treatment of trauma. It involves use of eye movements or another bilateral stimulation strategic approach. The process releases information trapped in the mind and body to be processed and released, thereby alleviating the symptoms of distress, which for instance, could range from disturbing images and body sensations, debilitating emotions to negative restrictive beliefs about self and others.

2. Geneneralized anxiety disorder
3. Phobias
4. Low self-esteem
5. Relationship difficulties
6. Panic disorder
7. Obsessive compulsive disorder
8. Grief
9. Anger
10. Childhood abuse
11. Performance anxiety
12. Physical/Sexual abuse

14. Other types of trauma e.g. from accidents, natural or other disasters etc.
The technique is also helpful for victims of crime, disasters, abuse, sexual addiction/deviation, accidents, fire, surgery, or trauma from a dysfunctional family. Additionally, people with obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, sleep trouble, dissociative disorder, pathological gambling, or negative body image have also found EMDR to be instrumental in their relief and recovery.
In addition, EMDR heals faster than the traditional therapy approaches and clears emotional and physical blockages. Reports have also revealed that clients experienced a sense of joy, openness, and deep connection with others.

AF-EMDR also covers the use and benefits of EMDR combined with bilateral stimulation for helping clients who respond less to traditional protocols owing to acute or chronic relational trauma and attachment deficits such as – physical or emotional neglect by caregivers, lack of safe space, childhood physical or sexual abuse, neglect, early losses, birth trauma, medical trauma, parental drug or alcohol abuse, caregiver mis attunement and secondary trauma.
Such clients often get depressed and suffer from relationship difficulties or problems at work. They don’t feel fully alive. In many cases, childhood trauma affects their sense of safety and ability to form close emotional relationships in adulthood. So, by incorporating an attachment-repair orientation to all phases of EMDR work, it successfully helps to alleviate the symptoms.
