Francine Shapiro
Francine Shapiro is the founder of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
She discovered the technique accidentally while walking in a park, noticing that eye movements seemed to reduce the intensity of disturbing thoughts.
Shapiro developed EMDR as a psychotherapy approach to help people process traumatic memories and alleviate symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
She has conducted extensive research on EMDR's effectiveness and has trained thousands of clinicians worldwide.
Shapiro has authored several books on EMDR and trauma treatment, including "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures" and "EMDR: The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma.".
