EMDR stands for eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing. I have completed the basic training in EMDR and have been using this method for well over a year now. I have seen great success with the reprocessing of not only traumatic memories but memories that a person doesn't even realize are affecting their life.
A companion book to EMDR is called Getting Past Your Past by Francine Shapiro (creator of EMDR therapy).
If you are interested in EMDR therapy and would like to find a certified EMDR therapist you can visit the EMDRIA website (link will be added) to find one near you. I highly recommend making sure your therapist has completed the entire basic training before starting EMDR. Having this done incorrectly can be dangerous to the client.
