EMDR Therapy is a
powerful psychological treatment that researchers have shown to be effective in
the treatment of post-traumatic stress (PTSD), as well as many other
psychological conditions. The reason EMDR works is still the subject of much
ongoing research and debate in the academic community, but the fact it does
work has now been well demonstrated. EMDR is not a traditional exposure
therapy, nor is it hypnosis. Some researchers believe it may mimic the memory
processing characteristics of REM sleep, while others argue that the competing
task demands of recalling a trauma memory and watching the therapist's fingers
tricks the brain into releasing aspects of the memory.
One or more sessions are required
for the therapist to understand the nature of the problem and to decide whether
EMDR Therapy is an
appropriate Treatment. The therapist will also discuss EMDR Therapy and give
you an opportunity to ask questions. The typical EMDR Therapy session lasts
from 60 to 90 minutes. The type of problem, life circumstances, and the number
of previous experiences will determine how many treatment sessions are
necessary.
EMDR allows a client to process
an emotional experience that he/she cannot yet talk about, yet following an
EMDR session find an ability to talk about it freely. Most importantly, it can
eliminate stress surrounding the traumatic event, with the purpose of allowing
new life in the once traumatized and emotionally difficult memory. For more
