Data set in support of the thesis 'Extinguishing desire with EMDR: Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) for reducing cravings and restrained eating.'

An experimental study looking at the effectiveness of a group-based adapted eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) for addiction intervention, on desire for and restriction of target foods, in a sample of people who struggle with cravings.. This data is self-report measures collected pre, during and post a 4 week group intervention. Participants were allocated to one of three conditions: an eye movement condition (replicating the desensitisation process in EMDR), a working memory condition (involving intermediate subtraction) and an image only condition (which required no dual working memory task). The data was collected via Qualtrics and is quantitative.
