EMDR leverages bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact. Both therapies offer effective, evidence-based solutions for clients seeking to overcome anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health challenges with lasting results.
