If I’m not mistaken EMDR (eye movement and desensitization and reprocessing) is a type of hypnotist therapy that is used in abuse cases. I never really did research into emdr but that is the impression that I got. It helps the person remember incidences and with whom etc. I know of a couple of frum therapists who do this as part of their practice but it could be that since it’s for a health reason then it is allowed halachically but I would tell e/o to ask their own sheila of course.
