EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
The aim of EMDR treatment is to achieve the most profound and comprehensive treatment effects in the shortest period of time, while maintaining client stability within a balanced family and social system. This technique is utilized in treatment for:
Trauma
- Single Incident
- History of Multiple Traumas
- Childhood Abuse
Enhancement of Individual Strengths & Talents
- Strengthening internal connection to individual's own traits and skills
- Strengthening adult ego
EMDR is an approach to psychotherapy that is comprised of principles, procedures and protocols. It is not a simple technique characterized primarily by the use of eye movements. EMDR is founded on the premise that each person has both an innate tendency to move toward health and wholeness, and the inner capacity to achieve it. EMDR is grounded in psychological science and is informed by both psychological theory and research on the brain.
EMDR integrates elements from both psychological theories (e.g. affect, attachment, behavior, bio-informational processing, cognitive, humanistic, family systems, psychodynamic and somatic) and psychotherapies (e.g., body-based, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, person-centered, and psychodynamic) into a standardized set of procedures and clinical protocols. Research on how the brain processes information and generates consciousness also informs the evolution of EMDR theory and procedure.
