The EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) tool is an interactive application designed to simulate the eye movements used in EMDR therapy. This therapy is recognized for its effectiveness in treating post-traumatic stress and other psychological disorders. The tool offers visual, auditory, and tactile stimulation to facilitate the reprocessing of traumatic information.
