Descriptions of Interventions
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR focuses on the Adaptive Information Processing model, which facilitates accessing and processing traumatic memories and adverse experiences for a healthy resolution.
After successful EMDR treatment, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced.
During EMDR therapy, clients recall emotionally disturbing material in brief doses while simultaneously focusing on external stimuli (alternating tapping, bilateral eye movements, audio, or tactile stimulation).
This process allows traumatic memories to be reprocessed, connected to more adaptive memories, and integrated—resulting in:
- Elimination of emotional distress
- Development of cognitive insights
- New learning and healing
The Flash Technique (FT)
The Flash Technique reduces disturbance levels associated with painful traumatic memories. It uses eye movements or alternating tapping to help resolve unprocessed traumatic memories, often within one session.
FT assists clients of all ages in managing:
- Anxiety
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Depression
- Other trauma-related symptoms
How it works:
If a client presents with a symptom not linked to a specific memory, the therapist helps identify a likely memory generating the symptom.
The client then identifies a positive and engaging memory, image, activity, music, or visualization.
While focusing on this positive distraction, they are periodically asked to momentarily interrupt that focus.
Processing of the traumatic memory occurs without the client consciously attending to the original disturbing memory.
