Substance abuse does a number on an individual’s relationship with other people, particularly in marriage. Spousal relationships bear the brunt of alcohol and drug dependence.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of reliable psychotherapy that treats trauma or injury. Usually, the therapist moves his or her fingers back and forth under a bar of light. The patient undergoes various eye movements and bilateral stimulation (BLS) techniques that place them under REM sleep. This helps the brain remember traumatic incidents.

EMDR reduces the intensity of the traumatic event and makes the patient achieve a state of tranquility. The main goal of EMDR is to treat trauma by identifying problems in the memories and addressing the links connecting traumatic memories. It also helps reduce negative emotions and bodily tensions brought on by suppressed or repressed trauma. The therapist provides solutions that can urge the patient to move forward.
