PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: EMDR is a therapy that uses eye movements to treat trauma. So...is it legit? We're going to dive deep into the world of EMDR therapy, exploring its origins, controversies, and the big question: How does eye movement help treat trauma? Join us as we unravel both the mysteries of this unique therapeutic approach and the life of its founder, Francine Shapiro, whose zeal and questionable business practices created the EMDR empire we know today. We'll also discuss current research findings on its efficacy and the controversies surrounding EMDR as an institution, including its dubious ties to pseudoscience.

MEET THE PRODUCERS: The producers of this video, and creators of the "Neurotransmissions" channel, are Alison Caldwell (Alie) and Micah Caldwell. Alie, a neuroscientist, graduated from MIT in Brain and Cognitive Sciences and obtained her Ph.D. at UCSD in Neuroscience. Micah, a therapist, is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California. Together, they founded Neuro Transmissions in 2015 with a mission to make neuroscience accessible to all interested viewers.
