EMDR is something I don’t know as much about, but from what I understand it’s basically a form of magic that helps heal long-standing psychological trauma but it’s not called magic and it’s scientifically shown to be effective so your insurance (if you have it) will pay for it.

be careful of using the word magic around therapy. lots of people use the word way to casually and it's hip these days and magic as a commodity is already too over-commercialized.

your actual detailed explanation makes perfect sense. The word voodoo could be seen to be a slur plus many practices it for better or worse.
