the next few days I'll try EMDR sessions! For many of you, you must ask yourself what it is! In fact this technique was discovered by chance by an American therapist who was doing research on another topic that the anguish and trauma, but thanks to medical imaging of the brain that are available now, it was found that This technique allowed to erase some of the traces of trauma in the old brain. That, that registers the trauma, emotional distress and various others. These traces are etched forever! this part of the brain, as explained by David Servan-Schreiber, is completely sealed to the language, hence the ineffectiveness of psychotherapy ordinary!
EMDR hunting traumatic memories
Traumatic events can cause unbearable anguish.
A new psychotherapy is successful:
EMDR (Eyes Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Meaning: eye movement desensitization and reprocessing of negative information.
In 1987, the California psychologist Francine Shapiro discovered, by chance, an eye movement from left to right brought him a sense of well-being: she had found the principle of EMDR. This psychotherapeutic technique originally built on eye movements can be replaced by other practices: rhythmic tapping on the hands, vibration, sound and lights.
The conduct of a meeting
A session of EMDR is divided this way: the therapist sat facing the patient invited him to tell the story of her trauma and asked to rate on a scale 1-10 stress level. When the problem is identified, the person is invited to view the event traumatic. Before any work of desensitization, the therapist will help the patient to seek its positive resources: identifying its qualities, recalling the happy moments, thinking about securing a place ... He is then asked to rate the positive consciousness that he would like himself to deal with this trauma. "Only when the positive bases are established and consolidated the symptoms can be treated," said Nadia Hamoudi, a psychologist. While the thoughts and feelings resurface, the practitioner performs with his fingers, left to right and from right to left successive reciprocating motions and short: 30 seconds to several minutes. This shall be done slowly at first then more rapidly. The patient's eyes follow the movements.
The series continues until the emotions are neutralized. The desensitization phase is activated. EMDR helps to gain an understanding as the patient is given an opportunity to be player of what happened and not to feel helpless about the traumatic experience.
is on the emotional impact and treatment of traumatic memories that eye movements of EMDR or other movements act.
A session lasts 60 to 90 minutes. Its price varies 60 to 120 euros. It can be repaid, because many centers are accredited by Victimology Social Security.
Practiced by psychologists, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and psychiatrists, with training given by the association EMDR France.
An effective psychotherapy in the treatment of trauma
Studies (1) show that 84-90% of those who suffered the trauma of rape, war, accident, natural disaster, loss of a loved one ... no longer had post-traumatic symptoms after this therapy. In most cases, the results are consistent and sustainable.
Other studies (Davidson et al. For example) deny these achievements. Of course, when a new natural treatment that we do not understand the mechanisms of action is introduced in medicine, skepticism and suspicion are required. What is altogether legitimate. "We treated people in Kosovo who suffered for years, despite all the treatments, and, in one, two or three sessions were completely out of the woods. Me too early, I had never seen this! "says David Servan-Schreiber.

EMDR focuses attention on her emotions about
How to explain what happens during therapy? The body retains the indelible mark of trauma with all images, sounds, thoughts and feelings associated with them. The emotional brain does not unlearn fear. When is irrational, it overwhelms the individual, short-circuit appears cognitive and brain can not function as a rationalization. "EMDR releases negative emotions stored in the nervous system and helps the brain to reprocess the experience for it to be "digested" said Dr. Livingstone Dravie, physician and hypnotherapist. The therapeutic process encourages the emergence of emotions and their evacuation. It can effectively reduce the impact of trauma and this, in a few sessions.
