EMDR may not be most effective in treating anxiety disorders from traumatic experience. EMDR is effective in treating anxiety disorders because it is mainly used to treat distressing memories and associated pathologies. There is a wealth of evidence that EMDR therapy is effective at treating specific phobias. Research into EMDR treatment for phobias, panic disorder, and agoraphobia has failed to uncover solid empirical support for these applications.
 
16)

This EMDR treatment component refers to the simultaneous attention to the event’s image, the associated negative belief, and the accompanying physical sensations may help establish initial connections between various elements of the traumatic memory, thereby initiating information processing.

 
Consciousness Association without restriction Interconnection of memory components Repeated exposure to and rejection of traumatic imagery

Technical considerations Infrastructure Relational attunement Preparation and training
