# Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Ask people to call up the memory of what you saw and felt in the past
- Then ask people to follow your fingers as you move them from side to side
Benefits:
- It helps make [[Trauma]] go away for people
- It changes the connections in the brain
- It helps your brain interpret your current reality from a different angle
- It helps them realize that yes, it did happen to them, but it was a long time ago, and it's not happening right now
