It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. When you physically injure yourself, your body works to heal the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc0f85f2cf09257bd6c69de/1619447923310-AWASX8KDUC2HGAVOADZS/Screenshot+2021-04-26+at+15.28.44.png Miranda Pleasence psychotherapist and Counsellor practising EMDR Therapy - During EMDR therapy sessions, you relive traumatic or triggering experiences in brief doses while I direct your eye movements. EMDR is thought to be effective because recalling distressing events is often less emotionally upsetting when your attention is diverted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc0f85f2cf09257bd6c69de/1619528157217-DN4MPIALUOCIIFQSVD0P/unsplash-image-KZJKg7pvIYA.jpg Miranda Pleasence psychotherapist and Counsellor practising EMDR Therapy - Another study, funded by the HMO Kaiser Permanente, found that 100% of the single-trauma victims and 77% of multiple trauma victims no longer were diagnosed with PTSD after only six 50-minute sessions. In another study, 77% of combat veterans were free of PTSD in 12 sessions. There has been so much research on EMDR therapy that it is now recognized as an effective form of treatment for trauma and other disturbing experiences by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the World Health Organization and the Department of Defense. Given the worldwide recognition as an effective treatment of trauma, you can easily see how EMDR therapy would effectively treat the “everyday” memories that are the reason people have low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, and all the myriad problems that bring them in for therapy. EMDR therapy combines different elements to maximize treatment effects. A full description of the theory, sequence of treatment, and research on protocols and active mechanisms can be found in F. Shapiro (2001) Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing: Basic principles, protocols and procedures (2nd edition) New York: Guilford Press. EMDR is an eight-phase treatment method. History taking, client preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure and reevaluation of treatment effect are the eight phases of this treatment which are briefly described. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc0f85f2cf09257bd6c69de/1619528282379-S5YMK9XIWJYV037QR0QW/unsplash-image-b8rkmfxZjdU.jpg Miranda Pleasence psychotherapist and Counsellor practising EMDR Therapy
