EMDR
EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION REPROCESSING
AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO TRAUMA RECOVERY
How does it work?
β¨ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): An evidence-based psychotherapy intervention that helps people heal from trauma symptoms. Emotional distress and physical symptoms often result from disturbing life experiences. π
π¬ How It Works:
EMDR therapy assists those struggling with symptoms of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and Complex PTSD.
π§ The brainβs natural information processing system works toward healing, but it can become blocked, causing continuous suffering.
π« EMDR removes these blocks, allowing healing to continue.
π Techniques include bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, butterfly hugs, tapping (buzzers), and auditory stimulation. These enable internal associations to arise, helping process memories and disturbing feelings impacting your well-being.
π Evidence-Based & Well-Researched Approach:
π§ Developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro, Ph.D., EMDR is a well-established evidence-based practice.
π Recommended by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, addiction and mental health treatment centers, and various mental health programs.
π Studies show positive effects, with many participants experiencing significant improvements after 6-12 sessions, and some noticing reductions in PTSD symptoms in just 3-6 sessions.
π Notable public figures also support it. One such advocate is Prince Harry, who has openly shared his positive experiences with EMDR therapy. Prince Harry praised its benefits, highlighting how it has helped him manage and overcome past traumas. This royal support has contributed to the rising demand for EMDR therapy in England, often referred to as "tapping therapy." For more details, you can read the full article on The Telegraph here.
