How EMDR Intensives Work
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing intensives are rooted in a well-established therapeutic approach that combines elements of reprocessing past painful or traumatic experiences and with the use of bilateral stimulation (often achieved through eye movements, tapping, or auditory cues).
A Simplified Overview of How EMDR Intensives Work
Assessment
The process begins with a comprehensive assessment by your therapist to identify the core issues and traumas you wish to address that impact your present day symptomatology. This evaluation forms the basis of your treatment plan.
Desensitization
EMDR intensives involve revisiting traumatic memories or distressing thoughts while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation. This helps desensitize the emotional charge associated with these memories that have an impact on your present day symptoms.
Reprocessing
As you engage in bilateral stimulation, your brain begins to reprocess the traumatic memories. This can lead to new insights, reduced distress, and a sense of resolution.
Integration
The final phase involves integrating the new insights and emotions into your overall emotional well-being. You will work with your therapist to build a more positive and adaptive narrative of your experiences.
