What Is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. EMDR therapists use this treatment to help people who suffer from a variety of mental health conditions, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- Oppositional defiant disorder
- Personality disorders
We use EMDR therapy in our Orlando treatment center because it allows our patients to reprocess negative memories of past events. Once we’ve completed the reprocessing portion of this treatment, we help patients proactively address them, ending the memories’ hold on their lives. For instance, many people who’ve suffered abuse in the past blame themselves for the abuser’s actions. Our treatment team will use our EMDR therapy program to help the patient understand the event and how it impacted their actions.
This treatment allows patients to resolve their memories peacefully and healthily. In addition, it will enable them to counter the past trauma and put wholesome coping mechanisms in place. It also provides a boost in resolve, inner peace, and self-confidence, which they may have struggled with in the past. It also allows them to adapt their information processing habits.
What Happens During Our EMDR Therapy Program?
Unlike traditional therapy methods, EMDR is an interactive treatment model. The therapist helps patients focus on a range of aspects surrounding the traumatic memories and lead them through a sequence of eye motions going from one side to the other. The treatment expert may use a handheld device or headphones to make bilateral sounds to trigger the eve movements. During treatment sessions, patients are able to face a range of painful memories, allowing them to cope with reality in a healthy way. For example, this treatment teaches many of our patients that they are worthy of love in spite of their past. Additionally, it could help them feel comfortable driving if they were in a car accident in the past. The purpose of this treatment allows them to confront their fears or other harmful emotions, which helps them move forward towards the future.
