What is EMDR therapy? What to know about the technique Miley Cyrus says saved her life
Miley Cyrus is sharing how a specific therapy technique helped her conquer stage fright: EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, abbreviated to EMDR, is a therapy that facilitates processing and overcoming trauma by stimulating certain senses, recalling memories, and enhancing information processing. In an interview with the New York Times, Cyrus explained the therapy has been essential for her healing and mental health. "Love it. Saved my life," Cyrus said. "I came out of it, and I've never had stage fright again. Ever. I don't have stage fright anymore." Here's what to know about the therapy. EMDR is a mental health therapy method that helps treat conditions that result from past traumas. It's known best for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During treatment, patients move their eyes a specific way while recalling traumatic memories, aiming to create new healing pathways. The method leans on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, a theory that describes how the brain stores memories. It was coined by Dr. Francine Shapiro, who also created EMDR. EMDR's first clinical trial took place in 1989, and since, dozens of following trials have proved the method's efficacy. While the therapy has been around for several decades, it's experienced an uptick in popularity over recent years. "It's almost a wave that can't be stopped because people are hearing their friends talk about it, they're seeing the changes in their family members," Wendy Byrd, a professional counselor and president of the board of directors at the EMDR International Association, previously told USA TODAY. "When I was trained in 2008, I would have to go in and explain what EMDR was and tell my clients why I thought it was such a good therapy," she said. "Now, I would say almost everyone that comes into my door is asking me for EMDR." During an EMDR session, a clinician will ask questions to stimulate components of a memory, including sensory information. They'll ask patients to reflect on how their body and mind felt during the experience. A clinician will also add in eye movements and tapping to facilitate information processing, calming down a person's physiology. The brain stores the new memory in the same place as the original trauma, which can make the original memory feel less threatening. "EMDR allows the brain to heal from experiences that were traumatic or adverse or overwhelming by allowing the brain to process that information and to store it in a way where the brain now knows, 'I'm in a different circumstance, that's not happening to me anymore,'" Byrd said. "It brings in the current information," she continued. "Maybe the positive is that it's over, or maybe it's that you learned from it."

"The first thing that happened was I was guided to seat myself on a train," Cyrus told the New York Times, describing her EMDR experience. "It's like watching a movie in your mind, but it's different than dreaming," she explained. "You're kind of more in yourself, but still in another place of consciousness that's really hard to describe unless you've been in that hypnotic state." Cyrus said that she was directed to watch her life like a movie as she imagined herself on the train, observing her past pass her by through the windows.

Cyrus said. "And I never even thought about it before, but in my hypnotic place said, 'I just want them to love me so bad.' "And he said, 'When was the first time you felt that way?' And then suddenly the train stopped moving forward and it started going backwards," she said, explaining that through the therapy, memories and thoughts of her mother, grandmother, family and friends came flooding in. "I saw all these people that had brought me so much peace and love," she said. After Cyrus came out of the therapy, she left stage fright behind.

'It's despicable': Fans left disappointed as Miley Cyrus ignores them during London album signing
What was meant to be a memorable moment for fans turned into a wave of disappointment, as Miley Cyrus appeared distant and disengaged during a vinyl signing event at Rough Trade in London. The singer was promoting 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved', a track from her latest album 'Something Beautiful', and was joined by British supermodel Naomi Campbell, who also features on the song. But instead of the warmth and excitement fans anticipated, many left the event feeling ignored — with videos and photos circulating online showing Cyrus speaking exclusively to Campbell, barely acknowledging the fans waiting in line. 'She's not even acknowledging the fans even though it's clearly a sign and photo op,' one fan commented on social media. 'Not looking at the camera when the photographer is counting down and not even looking at the fans. Just tossing the vinyls to the side.' Another wrote, 'I'd be so disappointed if I waited in line for someone I was excited for just to be straight up dismissed and ignored. I understand celebs can't be considerate of every fan that comes their way, but at a signing? Consider how you're making someone feel when you do something like that. That goes for everyone, not just celebs." While fans have long celebrated Cyrus for her boldness and musical talent, her behaviour at the signing has sparked sharp criticism, with some calling it 'despicable' and even a 'visual for classism'. A person wrote, 'Im at the point where I got the ick, between her behavior, her comments. She was born on third base. Dolly Parton is her godmother. And she behaves like this. It's despicable.' A lifelong fan shared a deeply personal reaction. 'I'm a huge Miley fan, like huge, when I was 7 I started selling stickers in school to save money just in case she would ever go to Venezuela, my country (she did) but if this would've happen to me I would've cried my eyes out because the little girl in me would be disappointed,' she wrote. The sentiment was echoed across social media, with many pointing out that fans had not only purchased her album but may have also paid for the meet-and-greet experience — only to be met with apparent indifference. With visibly disheartened faces captured in videos from the event, the backlash serves as a reminder that fan interactions are more than just promotional duties — they're emotional investments. So far, neither Cyrus nor her team have issued a response.

Miley Cyrus says this type of therapy saved her life. What is EMDR?
Miley Cyrus is opening up about how she overcame stage fright with a cutting-edge therapy technique that she says saved her life. In an interview with the New York Times last month, Cyrus shared that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, has been pivotal for her healing and mental health. The therapy was developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro in the 1980s to help people alleviate distress around painful memories. The therapy has been used by clinicians for decades but has become an increasingly popular and sought-after treatment to deal with traumatic or adverse life experiences. "Love it. Saved my life," Cyrus said of EDMR. "It's like watching a movie in your mind. ... I came out of it, and I've never had stage fright again. Ever. I don't have stage fright anymore." Cyrus isn't the only celebrity who's been open about undergoing EMDR. In 2021, Prince Harry shared in his Apple TV+ docuseries on mental health with Oprah Winfrey that he uses EMDR to address the discomfort he feels when he flies into London, which he said reminds him of the loss of his mother. "It's almost a wave that can't be stopped because people are hearing their friends talk about it, they're seeing the changes in their family members," Wendy Byrd, a professional counselor and president of the board of directors at the EMDR International Association, previously told USA TODAY. "When I was trained in 2008, I would have to go in and explain what EMDR was and tell my clients why I thought it was such a good therapy. ... Now, I would say almost everyone that comes into my door is asking me for EMDR." What is EMDR? EMDR engages what's called the adaptive information processing system to bring up past traumatic experiences in a safe space, so your brain can essentially reprocess them. "EMDR allows the brain to heal from experiences that were traumatic or adverse or overwhelming by allowing the brain to process that information and to store it in a way where the brain now knows, 'I'm in a different circumstance, that's not happening to me anymore,'" Byrd said. Our brains and bodies have a built-in mechanism for processing information. But sometimes, especially when we experience a trauma, that mechanism becomes overwhelmed. When new information comes in that feels similar to that adverse experience, the brain stores it in the same place as the original trauma, Byrd said. This can make things in your everyday life that are not threatening feel dangerous. "It's the blue car driving down the road, or it's the dog barking, or your spouse's face in that one contorted way, and all of a sudden, you're upset, you're triggered and overwhelmed," she said. How does a clinician conduct EMDR? Byrd said in an EMDR session a clinician will ask questions to bring up the components of a memory, including sensory information – such as sight, sound and smell. A clinician will ask how your body felt during the experience, how you felt during the experience – the emotional information that connects to that memory. Eventually, the clinician will add in eye movements or tapping. This is called bilateral stimulation. Studies show that eye movements facilitate information processing and calm down a person's physiology. "It will make something that feels upsetting, less upsetting. It helps the brain make images that are very vivid, less vivid," Byrd said. "And part of that is because of what we call dual attention, meaning I'm present in the room with the therapist, or over Zoom, nowadays, and I'm thinking about that experience and it's all the ingredients that the brain needs to engage that adaptive information processing mechanism." More: Prince Harry said he is triggered flying into London and uses EMDR to cope. What is it? Part of the reprocessing occurs by the clinician introducing positive things into the recall. A therapist will ask, "What do you want to think now about that experience?" "It brings in the current information. Maybe the positive is that it's over, or maybe it's that you learned from it or that now you now you're worthy," she said. Byrd said EMDR works on various types of trauma, and most people are good candidates for the treatment. EMDR can be effective whether someone is seeking to address a single traumatic event, such as a car crash, or a chronic experience, such as bullying. What is the hope for a patient after they complete EMDR? Patients work with their clinicians to identify future outcomes they desire – how they want to think, feel and behave in the world. For Byrd's part, she said looking to build resilience in clients. "I want their triggers to be very difficult to find," she said.

"People feel like sometimes what happened to them isn't big enough. They should just be able to get over it. ... And that just breaks my heart because I know that they can feel better and that they do deserve to feel better," she said. "I just wish that people knew that they could come in, we could figure out some of the things that are happening that are causing them pain, and that it would be not that long of a journey before they could get some relief."
