Pop icon Miley Cyrus revealed that a therapy called EMDR was instrumental in curbing her anxiety and helped her battle stage fright.
Miley Cyrus has performed for some of the world’s biggest audiences — but for years, she quietly battled stage fright behind the scenes.
In a recent interview, the pop icon revealed that a therapy called EMDR was instrumental in curbing her anxiety.
“Love it. Saved my life,” she told The New York Times in May. “I’ve never had stage fright again. Ever.”
In another recent interview with Vogue, Cyrus said that EMDR felt like watching a movie in her mind — vivid and emotional, but grounding.
Cyrus isn’t the only public figure to try EMDR. Prince Harry has shared in interviews that he uses the therapy to process painful memories connected to his mother’s death.What is EMDR?
