(410) 988-7247EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing integrates rapid-eye movements with focusing on disturbing thoughts and memories and aims towards producing a calming effect and trauma relief. EMDR is based on a theoretical information processing model which posits that symptoms arise when events are inadequately processed and can be eradicated when the memory is fully processed.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing's most unique aspect is an unusual component of bilateral stimulation of the brain, such as eye movements, bilateral sound, or bilateral tactile stimulation coupled with cognition, visualized images, and body sensation. EMDR also uses dual attention awareness to allow the individual to vacillate between the traumatic material and the safety of the present moment.
