Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)EMDR is a theoretical technique that successfully treats traumatic events, including sexual abuse, domestic violence, combat, crime and those suffering from a number of complaints including depression, addictions, phobias and a variety of self-esteem issue. The EMDR treatment involves the use of bilateral stimulation and an established protocol which disrupts ongoing negative emotional patterns, reduces their impact and allows the possibility of reorganizing emotional experience more positively. EMDR is a complex approach to psychotherapy that integrates many of the successful elements of a range of therapeutic approaches in combination and other forms of rhythmical stimulation in ways that stimulate the brain's information processing system. Fourteen controlled studies support the efficacy of EMDR, making it the most thoroughly researched methods ever used in the treatment of trauma. While most people show dramatic responses in a short amount of time, there are also those who will progress more slowly and that the slower progression is not abnormal. We all progress at the rate appropriate to the individual. Contact Patricia Bowes, M.S. at 610-688-2737. |
