EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a comprehensive psychotherapy that helps you process and recover from past experiences that are affecting your mental health and wellbeing. It involves using side to side eye movements combined with talk therapy in a specific and structured format.

Sounds like pseudo-science.

it sounds, but if it works, it might be good underlayer to other therapies that do not work

Placebos work much of the time.

I copy first result I came across:
A Randomized Clinical Trial of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Fluoxetine, and Pill Placebo in the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Treatment Effects and Long-Term Maintenance
In this 8-week study that compared an exposure-based psychotherapeutic treatment of PTSD (EMDR) with a pharmacologic treatment (fluoxetine) and pill placebo, participants in all 3 groups sustained considerable im- provement. Eighty-eight percent of EMDR, 81% of fluox- etine, and 65% of placebo completers lost their PTSD diagnosis, and 29% of EMDR, 15% of fluoxetine, and 12% of placebo completers became asymptomatic (CAPS scores under 20). Over the 6 months following the cessa tion of treatment, the EMDR group continued to mildly improve, while the fluoxetine group lost some of its gains: at follow-up, 57% of EMDR completers were asympto- matic, compared with none of the fluoxetine group.
