Research has shown that after stabilization, trauma processing can be helpful for some individuals who may have developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or difficulty in relationships related to past trauma and abuse.

EMDR was created by Francine Shapiro, an American psychologist and educator, and is a form of psychotherapy for resolving the symptoms of traumatic and other disturbing life experiences. EMDR uses a structured process of identifying memories that relate to core beliefs and may be connected to resolve underlying intense emotions.
