What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique that was developed in the late 1980s by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro. It involves using specific eye movements to help individuals recover from psychological trauma and emotional issues that are hindering their well-being. EMDR helps to desensitize the person to traumatic memories so that they can overcome them and move forward. During EMDR therapy, the therapist will facilitate rapid eye movements either manually (by having the client move their eyes back and forth) or electronically (using light bars or tones) while guiding the client to focus on a specific memory or emotion. During this process, the therapist helps the client to identify any associated thoughts, feelings and beliefs. After several sessions of EMDR therapy, clients often report feeling more at peace with their past experiences and improved mental health moving forward.

How is EMDR used at My Limitless Journeys?

EMDR involves identifying past traumatic events and working through them in a mindful way, with the help of a practitioner. During sessions, the practitioner asks the client about their experiences, feelings and thoughts, and guides them through eye movements to bring awareness to both conscious and unconscious parts of the mind for healing.

At My Limitless Journeys, we combine this therapy with other proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Our belief is that this combination of approaches offers the highest probability of success in treating mental health problems and leading to a better quality of life. We are dedicated to providing personalized treatments that cater to each client’s individual requirements and situation.
