About Us
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocess for Cambodian People, or EMDR as it is called in short is a path-breaking tool in psychotherapy. Discovered in 1987 by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the United States of America, this method of healing has proven effective in the treatment of traumatic stress disorders and the effects of disturbing life events. Based on the evidence of controlled research, the American Psychiatric Association and the Department of Veterans Affairs and Defense recommend EMDR as an effective treatment of trauma. Most international health guidelines recommend EMDR as the first line of treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Most countries in the Americas and Europe have national EMDR associations to train, supervise, standardize, and upgrade EMDR practitioners. EMDR Cambodia consists of a group of professionals gathered to be a part of a healing service for better reduction of traumatic stress happening to Cambodia People. Read more
