EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation, typically eye movements, to desensitize trauma memories and reduce distress over six to twelve sessions, one to two times per week, for PTSD and more.
Explore how emotional and psychological trauma arises from extremely stressful situations that threaten life or safety, leaving individuals feeling helpless and overwhelmed, with subjective reactions and a spectrum of symptoms.
Explore dual awareness in EMDR therapy to stay present while recalling distressing memories, using observer stance and sensory dual attention stimuli (eye movements, tapping, tactile or auditory cues).
Explain window of tolerance as arousal range for optimal functioning and how stress shrinks it. MDR therapy uses phase two resourcing to enlarge the window for phase four reprocessing.
Learn to use safe place visualization within EMDR, incorporating bilateral stimulation and cue words to strengthen emotional stability and expand the window of tolerance.
Master the container exercise to self-soothe and gain self-control within eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, using visualization to contain stress and anxiety until ready to address underlying events.
Design resource figures—nurturer, protector, and sage—and strengthen their image with bilateral stimulation, eye movements or tapping. Test your readiness by visualizing stress and noting soothing changes, updating figures as needed.
Practice the butterfly hug, a self-soothing bilateral stimulation that reduces anxiety in 3–5 minutes by tapping your chest with crossed arms while breathing slowly and observing your thoughts without judgment.
Explore EMDR's eight-phase protocol, from history taking and assessment to desensitisation, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation, highlighting its non-prolonged exposure approach and typical session range.
Explore EMDR therapy across eight phases—from history taking and preparation to desensitization and installation—using bilateral stimulation and safe-place techniques to reprocess traumatic memories.
EMDR therapy targets unprocessed memories of distressing experiences that sustain PTSD symptoms, alters how these memories are stored, and reduces or eliminates these symptoms, per research.
