EMDR was invented by [[Francine Shapiro]] in 1987. In a workshop, Shapiro related how the idea of the therapy came to her while she was taking a walk in the woods, and discerned she had been able to cope better with disturbing thoughts when also experiencing [[saccadic]] eye movements.<ref name=walk>{{cite journal |vauthors=Rosen GM |title=On the origin of eye movement desensitization |journal=J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry |volume=26 |issue=2 |pages=121–2 |date=June 1995 |pmid=7593684 |doi=10.1016/0005-7916(95)00014-q |url=}}</ref> Psychologist Gerald Rosen has expressed doubt about this description, saying that people are normally not aware of this type of eye movement.<ref name=walk/
