EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, was developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro. Doctors have since used EMDR to relieve the psychological pain of trauma victims. EMDR helps the patient’s brain process and release traumatic memories through monitored eye movements.
Innovations over the past two decades have led to this new breakthrough in the treatment of post-traumatic seizures beyond talk therapy and conventional medications.
EMDR therapy has been hailed as a revolutionary model developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1987, primarily for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In recent years, its success rate has been widely recognized, and many dedicated service providers have entered the healthcare market and expanded their services. The EMDR process and technology have evolved further. Now, based on customer convenience, providers offer telemedicine services through EMDR video therapy, EMDR virtual therapy, and EMDR online therapy, helping sufferers avoid the hassle of going to online clinics and labs.
Today, most therapists have moved their practice online to maintain social distancing or to help trauma victims avoid the arduous journey to the practice site to meet the therapist. Online EMDR also helps clients who are drained or tired at the end of session because they don’t have to travel back home, because they are already home.
Virtual therapy (EMDR)
Virtual EMDR therapy is cost-effective and suits patients suffering from PTSD, depression, addiction, anxiety, and emotional pain. It can gradually eliminate the trauma residing within them and achieve positive results.
This therapy helps overcome traumatic memories and restores the body’s natural functions to recover from the shock to the nervous system that the adverse life experience and/or trauma has caused.
In EMDR video therapy, a trauma victim undergoes a therapy session that is controlled remotely by an EMDR therapist.
Research is showing that virtual or online EMDR are effective in research. The session will be led by an online therapist via video call and the EMDR-trained therapist uses a tool that guides the patient through the different stages of the process.
The best EMDR tools make the therapy effective, and are HIPPA-compliant with latest date light-bar technology and backed by a complete online BLS toolbox of visual and auditory BLS with controls that can change colors, speeds, and lightbar direction.
Typical EMDR session length can vary between 45 minutes to an all-day intensive with a structured therapy protocol integrated in. The foundation of EMDR is the AIP model, which believes the human body is designed to restore health in the same way that the body responds to a cut in the body. Immediately, the body reacts to promote healing and EMDR gives the body a sort of signal to let the brain and body know that it is time to start that healing process.
