EMDR Therapy in Video and Remote Formats Helping Distressed Patients

 The discovery of EMDR therapy or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing has been a big milestone in medical science helping chronic patients to get over trauma and restoring brain processes to near normalcy.

Else, the deranged patients will be in complete disarray, unrest, and anxiety with traumatic memories getting released repeatedly showing convulsions in body.

EMDR video therapy is now scoring over traditional EMDR with better results. The key to EMDR is eye movements. Many EMDR therapy patients are reporting high success rates after one to three sessions — in-person or virtual EMDR.

EMDR remote training programs are also exceeding standard EMDR therapy as they are platforms for training to mental health professionals to handle EMDR for achieving maximum results.

This upgrades mental health professionals to integrate EMDR therapy into their routine practice as a way forward in the healing trauma and care for PTSD in communities. It also helps in professional growth as the trained ones can emerge as Consultants or Trainers in EMDR therapy.

Trauma-afflicted patients undergo a hard time after tragic or life threatening incidents as intense dreams, flashbacks, and anxiety-induced isolation feeling haunt them making daily life miserable and the journey to a normal life difficult.

The EMDR remote training program is EDMR at the next level with online EMDR solutions by eminent EMDR therapists to support other therapists and clients. This method is open-ended with the provision to listen to the ideas of others and suitably upgrade the processes.

EDMR uses eye movements or rhythmic tapping to change the way a memory is stored in the brain to process it. EMDR therapy addresses painful memories using the body’s natural functions to get over the trauma.

EMDR pursues a non-traditional form of psychotherapy with the conviction that traumatic events are not properly processed in the brain. That is why release of nightmares, flashbacks, and distress feelings is continuing.

EDMR is a boon to patients who face the problem of their brain and body enacting the trauma moments again when some reminder kicks off the trauma’s memory. For them, the brain is not in a fit condition to differentiate between the past and the present.

During the EMDR therapy, the patient will be asked to recall the trauma memory. Then, he will be instructed to do side-to-side eye movements to refresh the incident’s memory. This action engages the two sides of the brain in a process called bilateral stimulation.

The bilateral brain stimulation helps relaxation making the memories less vivid, and the brain starts the memory recall with relaxation without emotional shocks.

The credit for developing EMDR goes to Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s while attempting new treatment methods for PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder conditions.
