How EMDR Works
Each EMDR therapy session follows an eight-phase treatment protocol, including:
- History and Treatment Planning: Assessing your background to target specific traumatic memories.
- Preparation: Establishing a trustful therapeutic relationship and introducing EMDR techniques.
- Assessment: Identifying key elements of traumatic memories for reprocessing.
- Desensitization: Employing EMDR techniques, like eye movements, to process distressing memories.
- Installation: Reinforcing positive beliefs and perspectives.
- Body Scan: Addressing residual physical tension and stress.
- Closure: Ensuring stability at the end of each EMDR therapy session.
- Reevaluation: Confirming the effectiveness of the therapy on targeted memories.
EMDR Therapy Beyond PSTD
- EMDR Therapy for OCD: This approach can be tailored to help those suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), aiding in processing underlying traumatic events that may be contributing to OCD symptoms.
- EMDR Therapy for Depression: EMDR is also effective in treating depression, particularly when linked to past traumatic experiences, by helping to reframe negative beliefs and reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories.
