Talk therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy are both valuable therapeutic approaches that can be effective on their own. However, when combined, they can create a powerful and comprehensive treatment plan for individuals dealing with trauma and other emotional challenges.
