What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful method of psychotherapy. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches.
What kind of problems can EMDR treat?
Scientific research has established EMDR as effective for post traumatic stress. Clinicians also use EMDR in the treatment of:
- panic attacks
- complicated grief reactions
- dissociative disorders
- phobias
- performance anxiety
- sexual and/or physical abuse
How Long Does it Take?
One or more sessions are required for the therapist to understand the nature of the problem and to decide whether EMDR is the appropriate treatment. A typical EMDR session lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. The type of porblem, life circumstances, and the amount of previous trauma will determine how many sessions are necessary. EMDR may be used within a standard “talking” therapy, as an adjunctive therapy with a separate therapist, or as a treatment by itself.
