EMDR Therapy: An Option For A Wider World Vision
Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing (EMDR) is an alternative therapy technique invented by Francine Shapiro , an effective treatment mostly for traumas. The technique is said to have success over veterans.
1.History Taking
Here, the professional collects information about the patient in order to have positive effects and eliminate the negative effects.
2.Preparation
Patients are prepared for EMDR therapy by the professional in order to develop confidence and coping skills and the relation between the patient and the professional should be clear and sincere.
3.Assessment
Here, a dual stimulation is made such as tapping on the patient's knees . The patient is asked for the negative memories and what he feels and, visualizes at the moment.
4.Desensitization
This session includes reprocessing the target memory network by activating related channels of association. EMDR procedures to reprocess the selected incident associated with the presenting issue are applied until successful resolution. The clinician and patient engage in sets of bilateral stimulation (lasting approximately 15–30 seconds each)
5.Installation
Strengthening and enhancing associations to positive memory networks are put into place. The suitability of the selected positive cognition is reevaluated and linked with targeting and strengthening EMDR procedures.
6. Body Scan
This stage reprocesses any residual physical manifestations of the memory and involves accessing the memory and the positive cognition (belief), scanning the body, and reprocessing any sensations.
7 Closure
In this stage, there is reorientation of the focus of attention to bring closure to the reprocessing. The client is stabilized and the session closed, with reorientation to the present. A plan is developed for the time between sessions, and as appropriate, a plan is arranged for contact with the clinician.
8. Reevaluation Phase 8 is often conducted at the beginning of a subsequent treatment session. In other words, in the midst of a course of treatment, the clinician will conduct the reevaluation at the outset of an individual therapy session to revisit the impact of previous sessions. Reevaluation ensures clinical attention and followup of every EMDR treatment session to evaluate specific target memories, identify other relevant associations that may have developed as a result of reprocessing, and evaluate patient progress.
The effectiveness of the technique is contraversial. You need to see a professional for a better result. But here you can watch the below video for stress and anxiety relieving . I will talk about bineural beats at my next article . The emdr therapy I think is more efficient with listening to bineural beats.
