How EMDR Therapy Works

EMDR employs an approach of bilateral stimulation, often through techniques like guided eye movement, touch, or sounds. The more we engage in these self disclosing expressions of intimate feelings, the more the emotional intensity will diminish.


During EMDR sessions, clients:

  • Think of a bad experience briefly
  • Engage in bilateral stimulation
  • Allow the brain to process the memory again

 

The Eight Phases of EMDR Therapy

  1. History Taking & Treatment Planning: The therapist takes background information and identifies target memories.
  2. Preparation & Skill Building: Clients learn grounding and coping techniques to ensure emotional safety.
  3. Assessment Phase: The particular memories, beliefs, and feelings are pinpointed.
  4. Desensitization: it is done by bilateral stimulation to lower the level of disturbance.
  5. Installation of Positive Beliefs: Healthier beliefs are reinforced and strengthened.
  6. Body Scan: Clients recognize and let go of residual physical tension.
  7. Closure: Sessions are concluded with techniques for stabilization.
  8. Reevaluation: Progress is reviewed, and adjustments are made if necessary.
