EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a unique approach to psychotherapy that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. 

What is EMDR 

EMDR therapy is a form of psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can, in fact, heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.

When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.

How Does EMDR Therapy Work?

The Eight Phases of EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy is broken down into eight different phases, each with its own purpose and process. These phases are designed to help the patient process and move past their trauma.

  1. History and Treatment Planning
  2. Preparation
  3. Assessment
  4. Desensitization
  5. Installation
  6. Body Scan
  7. Closure
  8. Reevaluation

Each phase plays a crucial role in the overall process of EMDR therapy. The therapist will guide the patient through these phases, ensuring that they are comfortable and ready to proceed to the next phase.

EMDR Therapy Techniques

EMDR therapy uses a variety of techniques to help patients process their trauma. One of the most common techniques is the use of eye movements. The therapist will guide the patient in moving their eyes back and forth, similar to the movements that occur during REM sleep. This is thought to help the brain process the traumatic memories.

Other techniques used in EMDR therapy include tapping and auditory tones. These techniques, like the eye movements, are used to stimulate the brain and help it process the traumatic memories.

Benefits of EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy has been proven to be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions. These include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and more.

The benefits of EMDR therapy include:

  • Reduction in the symptoms of PTSD
  • Decrease in anxiety and depression symptoms
  • Improved self-esteem
  • Increased ability to cope with stress

These benefits can greatly improve the quality of life for individuals who have experienced trauma. EMDR therapy can help them move past their trauma and live a healthier, happier life.
