EMDR
What is EMDR? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing – what does that mean?” EMDR is a therapy that helps people relieve their pain and suffering caused by traumatic events that have hurt them or left them in a state of distress. It is a therapy intended to help people clear past traumas in order to feel more present, satisfied, and effective in their every day lives… The goal of this therapy is to empower people to feel, think and behave in new and healthier ways.” – Barb Maiberger, LPC.
What Does EMDR stand for? Eye Movement: Much has been learned about this therapy since the day it was named for eye movements. Now it appears that the beneficial effects are facilitated by an alternating stimulation of the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Eye movement accomplishes this, as do bilateral alternating taps or tones. Desensitization: refers to the removal of the emotional disturbances associated with traumatic memory. Reprocessing: refers to the replacement of the unhealthy, negative beliefs associated with traumatic memories, with healthier, positive beliefs.
When is EMDR appropriate? There are two types of traumas, big “T” trauma and little “t” trauma. Big “T” traumas are the major horrific events like car accidents, death, and sexual abuse. Little “t” are everyday life disturbance. EMDR can help heal both types of trauma.
EMDR can help with:
PTSD Anxiety somatic concerns Depression Phobias mood dis-regulation Complicated grief Sexual abuse Anger concerns Panic Attacks Dissociate
Disorders Guilt Performance Anxiety Peak Performance Sleep problems Addictions
Modalities: Age appropriate techniques are used while doing EMDR. I use music and art to help the client express their therapeutic needs.
