Types of EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy uses three main techniques: eye movements, bilateral stimulation, and internal dialogue. Eye movements involve following the therapist’s fingers with your eyes or using a device that creates rhythmic side-to-side movements. This stimulates the brain and helps individuals process traumatic memories. Bilateral stimulation involves alternating stimulation, such as tapping or sounds, to stimulate both sides of the brain simultaneously. This allows individuals to integrate the experiences they have just had during therapy. Internal dialogue involves mentally talking back to the traumatic memories and replacing the negative beliefs with positive ones.
