Frequently Asked Questions about EMDR Therapy
What are EMDR sessions?
In EMDR sessions, the client recalls traumatic memories while the therapist guides them through bilateral stimulation such as eye movements or tapping. This process helps to process and desensitize the traumatic memories.
How does EMDR work?
EMDR works by using bilateral stimulation (e.g. eye movements, tapping signs or sounds) to help process traumatic memories, reduce their emotional intensity and promote healing.
How long are EMDR sessions?
EMDR sessions usually last between 60 and 90 minutes. The duration may vary depending on the client’s needs and the therapist’s approach.
Are EMDR memories real?
Yes, EMDR focuses on processing existing memories rather than creating new ones. It helps to reduce the distress associated with these memories by integrating them into a more adaptive framework.
What are EMDR tappers?
EMDR tappers are portable devices that provide bilateral tactile stimulation through vibration. They are used as an alternative to eye movements to facilitate the processing of traumatic memories.
What are EMDR intensives?
EMDR intensives are extended therapy sessions that aim to process trauma more quickly through concentrated treatment over a shorter period of time. These sessions can be particularly effective for clients who need rapid relief from their symptoms.
