It is often helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation, anger, or self-harm urges by providing step-by-step strategies to respond differently to stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed approach that helps process disturbing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
