Miley Cyrus says EMDR therapy cured her stage fright
Miley Cyrus credits EMDR therapy for eliminating her stage fright, stating it "saved my life" and allowing her to perform without anxiety. The pop star revealed in interviews that EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helped her process emotional pain and unresolved trauma, leading to a significant reduction in her performance anxiety. The therapy involves bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess upsetting memories. EMDR is a therapy used by others, including Prince Harry, and aims to shift memories from the emotional to the rational part of the brain. Experts say it can help people overcome deeply-rooted fears and find greater confidence.
