What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye movement desensitisation reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a form of psychotherapy that utilises bilateral stimulation and eye movements to help people process and resolve the impacts of traumatic and adverse life circumstances. It is a relatively new form of therapy, developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Dr Francine Shapiro. EMDR can be used to address traumatic life events. These include abuse, accidents, or the death of a loved one, as well as mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
What happens during EMDR Therapy?
During EMDR sessions in Melbourne, therapists will use bilateral eye movements or other forms of alternating stimulation. This occurs while guiding their clients through the trauma they are trying to address. This helps to process the emotional pain associated with these experiences and resolve any related symptoms. The therapist will also help clients identify positive beliefs they may need to develop. This helps find resolution and recovery through this therapeutic approach.
How effective is EMDR?
The success rate for EMDR is quite high. Some studies indicate up to 100% improvement in psychological symptoms after three months of treatment. Also, reporting up to 80-90% reduction in symptom severity within 6-12 sessions. This makes it an effective therapeutic approach. Many people who have undergone EMDR point out improvements not only psychologically, but emotionally too. Often feeling much more relief from their symptoms.
