EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is the therapy modality I use for trauma. It involves recalling distressing past events while focusing on a back-and-forth movement or sound, such as a therapist's hand movements or auditory tones. This process helps to lessen the impact of the traumatic memories and allows us to reprocess the negative experiences in a less distressing way.
