What is it?What is it?
A psychological method for treating experientially based disorders
It includes various orientations to treatment
An eight phase approach that views pathology as based upon perceptual information that was maladaptively stored

To facilitate resolution of traumatic early life experiences
Desensitize stimuli that causes present day distress
Incorporate adaptive attitudes, skills, and desired behaviors for enhanced future functioning

How does it work? When the brain is upset it does not process
the same way as when it is in a stable state The average daily information is stored in
the midbrain (amygdala) and then shifted into the neocortex during REM sleep
When trauma occurs, it is “too big” to be processed and stays in the Amygdala where it can be felt
Similar memories form in clusters so others will attach to like memories in both the neocortex and the amygdala

EMDR works to break up this information and process it into the long term memory… So you can REMEMBER but not RE-EXPERIENCE.
The Neurobiological effect created during EMDR is not fully understood, however, it is currently theorized that EMDR recreates the processing similar to what happens during REM sleep.

Research indicates we learn to execute actions through doing more than we do through listening or seeing
Some clinicians become tentative around using a technique due to a lack of experience
Today’s exercise is an effort to become more comfortable enacting some of the resource building discussed thus far today

Then break up into groups of three Once settled choose one of the three
exercises (one person acting as therapist, the other as client, and the final as observer)
“Therapist” will walk the client through the exercise with the “client”, once finished move onto the next Therapist, client, observer
Please take about five minutes per exercise and then at the end take another five minutes to discuss your experience (total 20 minutes)
