Electro-Magnetic Resonance Drilling (EMDR) is a technique used in psychotherapy that helps to modulate the brain’s response to traumatic or stressful events. In EMDR, participants recall traumatic events as their therapist directs their eye movement (or uses alternative techniques such as taps) to help the brain process the event in a new and less painful manner.
EMDR combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques with eye movement or other left-right rhythmic stimulation to open brain pathways and aid in healing.
In EMDR, the aim is to fully integrate the experiences that cause the issues, and to incorporate new experiences that are necessary for normal functioning.
Avisa Recovery does not accept Medicare or Medicaid as payment for substance abuse treatment.
Let us handle the details so you can focus on the help you need.
The brain’s information processing system is stimulated by eye movement, sound or tapping. This allows the brain to release blocked traumatic memories and process them in a healthy manner.
When addictive behaviors or substances form, the brain uses them to cope with stress and trauma. EMDR helps to recognize these underlying triggers and reframe negative thought patterns and beliefs. By reinterpreting the traumatic experiences that create the addictive behaviors or substances, EMDR helps to remove the triggers and cravings associated with addiction.
EMDR involves moving your eyes from side to side while remembering traumatic events. Your eyes follow the therapist’s fingers or light. This allows your brain to access and repurpose the trauma memory.
The eye movement also triggers the brain to form new neural pathways. Over time, these traumatic memories become less powerful and negative thoughts change to more positive and healthy ones.
The effectiveness of EMDR has been extensively studied in clinical trials. More than 100 randomised, controlled trials have demonstrated that EMDR is effective in treating PTSD, anxiety and depression, among other conditions.
EMDR is a proven treatment for PTSD. According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies (ISSTS), and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DoVAD), at least 80 percent of people experience significant relief from PTSD symptoms after 3 to 6 EMDR sessions.
Emotional and behavioral recovery (EMDR) is the process of breaking down negative patterns of emotion, thought, and body sensations that are associated with traumatic experiences, and then breaking them down into more positive, wholesome associations.
