EMDR is usually used for post traumatic stress disorder. It is a technique used to disassociate bad memories from traumatic feelings. You are basically reprogramming your response to these memories. EMDR usually works within a handful of sessions.

I had this therapy. It was developed for Nam Vets after the war. It's very relaxing, but I didn't have PTSD so all I can say is, it was relaxing :)
