What Is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro in 1980’s
-
What does it do?
EMDR resolves the development of and reprocesses a trauma related disorder caused by exposure to distressing events
-
What are EMDR’s goals?
The goals of EMDR therapy are to:
- process distressing memories and past traumatic events by reducing their lingering influence
- re-integrating events allowing individuals to develop more adaptive coping mechanisms
- help facilitate activation of the brain’s inherent information processing system
- enable transformation of the sense of self in relation to the traumatic memories
-
How does it work?
EMDR uses a structured eight-phased approach to address the past, present and future aspects of a traumatic or distressing memory that has been dysfunctionally stored in an isolated memory network and may overwhelm usual cognitive and neurological coping mechanisms. EMDR allows assimilation to take place enabling information to move towards resolution, causing spontaneous insight and change
