At BeTuned, we harness the power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to create an innovative, game-based approach to mental health care. Here's how our scientifically endorsed methods can help you recover and thrive:

What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful, scientifically backed treatment designed to help individuals recover from the emotional wounds of trauma. Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro, EMDR has proven highly effective in reducing distress in a relatively short period, making it a cornerstone of trauma therapy.

How Does EMDR Work?

EMDR therapy helps you break free from the intense emotions, negative beliefs, and physical sensations that trauma leaves behind. It uses bilateral stimulation – eye movements, sounds, or taps – to help the body process stress and trauma, allowing you to safely and supportively reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.

EMDR therapy is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) as an effective treatment for trauma and a variety of other mental health conditions, including:

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Panic disorders

• Phobias

• Grief

• Substance use disorders

• Self-esteem issues

• Performance anxiety

• Psychological distress from chronic health issues

In 2021, Prince Harry underwent a live EMDR session on camera, showcasing its effectiveness in a documentary for Apple TV. He described EMDR as the method he used to overcome trauma and PTSD, especially after the death of his mother. Similarly, actress Sandra Bullock has spoken about how EMDR therapy helped her recover from PTSD following a traumatic incident, highlighting its ability to address both psychological and physical symptoms.

WHO's recent publication, "Psychological Interventions Implementation Manual: Integrating Evidence-Based Psychological Interventions into Existing Services," endorses EMDR as a key intervention for treating PTSD in adults, children, and adolescents, underscoring the growing necessity to expand and sustain these interventions on a broader scale.
