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. What health & wellness means for you: Sign up for USA TODAY's Keeping It Together newsletter Byrd encourages anyone with a painful memory to consider EMDR. "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."

David Oyelowo on Why He Made It a Priority to Shoot ‘Government Cheese' in Los Angeles
There's a moment in Apple TV+'s 'Government Cheese' where David Oyelowo's character is swallowed by a catfish. 'That's something I didn't have on my dance card, and something I'm sure not a lot of actors can say that they've done,' Oyelowo tells Variety's Awards Circuit Podcast. Tthe phrase that keeps coming up from people is it's unlike anything they've seen. That, in and of itself, is a huge source of pride for me.' But in the surrealist comedy, anything is possible. 'That is definitely part of the joy of both doing it, and I hope watching it, is that you're getting to see scenarios you haven't really seen before,' Oyelowo says. That includes 'seeing a Black family under these circumstances that you haven't seen them in before, but in a familiar time.' More from Variety Brett Goldstein on Working With Michael J. Fox on 'Shrinking,' Returning to 'Ted Lasso' and Preparing His Next Comedy Special: 'It's a Good One!' 'The Amazing Race' Has Won 10 Reality Competition Emmys - But It's Still Not Enough Emmys Acting Contenders: From Pedro Pascal and Diego Luna to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, Who Was Officially Submitted Oyelowo spoke to the Awards Circuit Podcast about 'Government Cheese,' including the unconventional storylines and shooting in the deep San Fernando Valley. He also shared more details on his production company, and what's to come. Listen below! 'Government Cheese' is based on creator Paul Hunter's family and his experiences growing up in California. Oyelowo stars as Hampton Chambers, the patriarch of a family living in southern California's San Fernando Valley in 1969. The Chambers – wife Astoria (Simone Missick) and sons Einstein (Evan Ellison) and Harrison (Jahi Di'Allo Winston) — are a quirky bunch pursuing lofty and seemingly impossible dreams. The plot kicks off when Hampton is released from prison, and, as the series synopsis explains, his long-awaited family reunion doesn't go quite as he'd planned. During his absence, his wife and kids have formed an unconventional family unit, and Hampton's return spins their world into chaos. 'The first thing that drew me in was Paul Hunter, the filmmaker,' Oyelowo says. 'When he asked to meet me, I took a bit of a dive into the work he'd done — most of which was seminal music videos that I had watched, not knowing that the same person had done all of these visually stunning, culturally potent, short films.' In the case of 'Government Cheese,' Oyelowo says he also was inspired by the scripts, filled with 'this sort of parabolic, biblical, whimsical, surreal component. Of this guy who's going on a spiritual journey… you're just in his POV, so you have to go along with it. Him being stuck in the belly of a catfish, him finding himself in a flood, him having a death and resurrection experience. These are all biblical references, but they are played as as literal. But because the world is so fantastical, you find yourself going, 'is this real or imagined?' And without any need, as far as we're concerned, to explain that.' As for the location, also inspired by Hunter's upbringing in the Valley, Oyelowo could also relate: He's lived in places like Studio City, Sherman Oaks and Tarzana for nearly 20 years. 'It's incredibly unique as a California location, it has a very specific light and still looks a little bit like it's stuck in the past, depending on where you go,' he says. 'When Apple was talking about, which tax break town or city can we go to? I was like, it has to be the Valley. It has to be the it is a character in this show. The thing I didn't know is how populated by Black people the Valley was back in the day. For Paul, that was his experience growing up in Pacoima, in the Valley in the 60s and 70s. And that was also something unique about the show that I wanted to see.' It also helped that after shooting 'Lawmen: Bass Reeves' far from home, Oyelowo was looking to star in something in his backyard. 'We just need more production here in L.A.,' he says. 'We're really, really struggling. And it was really typified by the fact that almost every day, a crew member would come up to me and say, 'Thank you so much for shooting this here. I can't remember the last time I got to shoot in LA, be with my family and get to do a job for six months.' Our industry has been really challenged by the pandemic, the strikes and now the fires. So that was a real joy to be able to do that.' Might there be more 'Government Cheese' to come? 'That's the hope,' he says. 'Gosh, the last time I did seasons of anything was 24 years ago — it was called 'MI-5' here but 'Spooks' in the UK. A spy show, and we did three seasons of that. I have a very voracious and eclectic appetite. so I always like going from one thing to the next. But I loved doing this show. To do more of it would be great.' Oyelowo and his wife Jessica are behind Yoruba Saxon, a production company that has a first-look deal with Apple, where they have several projects in development. 'A big focus for me is the African continent,' he says. 'Over a billion people on that continent, and I feel like streaming has come along and solved the piracy issue. So the excuse of it not being a valid market, I think, has been eroded. We have several projects that are going to be be African, in either in location or in subject matter, which is something I'm deeply proud of.' Oyelowo's upcoming projects include a film about a man coming out of solitary confinement, directed by Nate Parker; as well as a psychological thriller. He is also developing a limited series based on the Chinua Achebe novel 'Things Fall Apart' with Idris Elba (they'll also star together), as well as 'Biafra,' focusing on the civil war in Nigeria, with the BBC. Also on this episode, Brett Goldstein discusses 'Shrinking' and 'Ted Lasso,' as well as his Emmy-contending HBO Max standup special 'Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night of Your Life,' and whether he's working on his next routine.
