EEye Movement Desensitatiation and Reprocessing. You may not have heard of it. It is basically reprocessing information in your brain by using lights to move your eyes back and forth. They also use sounds. While asking a paitent to recall a tramatic event the trained specialist waves lights or their finger in front of your eyes asking you to move them back and forth following the lights. It it suppose to stimulate the brain's reprocessing information center, so that your brain can process this tramitc event instead of holding on to it and causing you emotinal and mental pain. It is used mostly on people with PTSD. It is also used for a wide variety of mental disorders.
There is a lot of skepitcalization about EMDR though. Some say it works others say it can cause horrible side effects. Well, anyway my therapist presented it to me. She said it might help me a lot. She specialize in EMDR. I am not sure though, I have never heard form anyone who has ever tried it. Please, Please if you have ever tried EMDR tell me what you think. I am very intrested in it, but also afraid of the possible side effects. You can email me, or just submit what you think below. Thanks! |
