EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Rehabilitation)
and Trauma Based Services
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This is a comprehensive psychotherapy approach backed by research as an effective form of therapy for trauma. Complete treatment involves addressing 1. Past Memories 2. Present Disturbances and 3. Future Actions needed to alleviate the symptoms. Past memories may be abuse, neglect , loss, accidents, and also humiliation and disappointments in childhood. Processing" in EMDR is NOT talking about the trauma. "Processing" means setting up a learning state that allows experiences that are causing problems to be "digested/Desensitized" and stored appropriately in your brain. Therefore, you will be able to guide you in positive ways in the future. The negative emotions beliefs and body sensations will be discarded. The goal (Reprocessing/learning) is to leave you with the emotion and understanding and perspective that will lead to healthy and useful behaviors.
Useful Information: The client only needs to say what one wants to say. There is no need to tell the therapist all the details of the trauma. The client is in control in session. You are instructed to give STOP gesture at any time you want. Relaxation Techniques are taught prior to the processing. One goal of EMDR is to make sure that the client can take care of self.
