EMDR

Well its been a week since I first considered keeping track of my thoughts. I guess Thanksgiving interfered with my good intentions. They say four days in a row will become a habit, so Lord willing here goes.

Last week I was re encouraged by my EMDR clients' progress. I am always amazed to see the change in my clients' facial expressions during the processing. Additional disturbing memories surface instantly once a level of relaxation is established. The intensity of the session is extremely emotional, yet most clients are motivated to continue because they can see real change.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a mental health treatment that reprocesses old disturbing memories. Unfortunately, disturbing events are usually accompanied by nevative beliefs about ones self. Somehow during the processing these beliefs change into more appropriate positive beliefs.
