EYE movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is an 8 phase counselling treatment that considers all aspects of life experience
EMDR provides recovery and relief of simple and complexed trauma experiences
This produces electrical activity in the brain that enables the trauma memory to be released. The memory with change and after processing the memory will no longer has the same affect upon you as it did prior to the EMDR processing.
You will be asked to ‘just notice’ or observe the feelings, beliefs, sensations and images that emerge during the processing phase.
During this time you don’t need to analyse, sensor or block any of the distressing emotions or bodily sensations, just simply go with them as this is when the brain is working with the electrical activity to work your brain toward trauma recovery and resolution.
Just Notice provides Accredited EMDR therapy via membership with EMDRAA Australia.
Why is Accredited so important?
It assures the Practitioner continues to learns through training to ensure the EMDR experience is tailored to the specific needs of the client as trauma processing is comprehensive and requires thorough treatment planning.
It is important the practitioner takes part in regular supervision and case consultation and this is expected to retain an EMDR accreditation
At the beginning of the processing phase of EMDR you will be asked to bring into your conscious awareness all the components of the trauma memory network including the event/sensory stimuli, the emotional/physical memory and the personal meaning.
The therapist will commence BLS (bilateral stimulation) once the trauma memory is activated and this will occur through eye movements, butterfly hugs, tapping, and/or with thera- tappers.
