EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
Â
Â
EMDR Therapy is a comprehensive approach that addresses the physiological storage of memory and how it informs experience. Change is understood as a byproduct of reprocessing due to the alteration of memory storage and the linkage to adaptive memory networks.
Â
Dual attention to bilateral stimulation or BLS (eye movements, tactile taps, and or auditory tones) is merely one component of EMDR therapy.
Â
EMDR therapy is an integrative treatment approach (distinct from psychodynamic, CBT, experiential, etc.) consisting of 8 phases that is compatible with all major orientations to psychotherapy.
Â
Different diagnoses can require different, often customized EMDR procedures incorporating the three-pronged protocol of past, present, and future.
Â
EMDR Therapy is used to address adverse life experiences that contribute to problems in daily living.
