In a recent social media post, Mötley Crüe’s bassist, Nikki Sixx, shared an insight into his personal well-being journey, revealing that he has been undergoing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), EMDR is a form of therapy that helps patients process traumatic memories by guiding them to focus briefly on the memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements. This process is said to help reduce the emotional intensity and vividness associated with trauma memories.

Sixx took to Facebook to share his thoughts, saying:
“A lot of us talk about New Year’s resolutions. I like the idea of resetting myself a few times a year. I spend a lot of time up in the National Park in Wyoming. That’s a solid restart for me. Another around my birthday and then Dec 31-Jan 6th. I am personally on a deep reflective journey right now and as usual it will turn into something. A lyric, a book, a song. Also, I’ve been doing EMDR therapy. That’s a golden ticket if you’re up for change. I live for change. At least evolution. Do you have any new goals or resolutions you wanna share with the rest of the class? 🤣 By the way, Happy New Year.”

The post reflects Sixx’s ongoing commitment to personal evolution, with an emphasis on growth, change, and self-reflection. His openness about his therapy journey, alongside his frequent resets and reflections, shows a side of the rock star that’s deeply committed to improving his mental well-being, not just his music.
