Jagruti Rehabilitation Centre will stay with you and help overcome the process step by step.

What is EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused psychotherapy that enables people to overcome distressing memories and pain. It is different from traditional talk therapy. The process of recalling traumatic events involves guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, such as tapping or auditory tones. These movements help desensitize the emotional response to the trauma and allow the brain to reprocess the memory in a healthier way.
Several studies and institutions have supported Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). They include the World Health Organization and the American Psychological Association. These organizations view it as a safe and effective means of trauma recovery. It helps people by altering the way the brain processes traumatic memories, thus minimizing the emotional impact of these experiences.

Who Needs to Have EMDR Therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is helpful to people who are suffering from trauma or psychological disorders due to some unprocessed distress. At Jagruti Rehabilitation Centre, we have customized our treatment plan according to the needs of the following patients:

• PTSD sufferers: EMDR is very effective for PTSD in war, abuse, accidents, or any traumatic situations.
• Anxiety disorders: EMDR can ease distressing symptoms, such as generalised anxiety disorder and social anxiety.
• Depression: The trauma-linked depression as well as self-rejecting beliefs associated with it may be approached using EMDR.
• Phobias and Panic Disorders: Anyone with an irrational fear or an attack of panic might experience relief.
• Grief and Loss: EMDR allows one to accept death, and loss of a family member, among other loss issues.
• Other trauma-related disorders: Any emotional disorder that can be linked to the occurrence of any trauma and EMDR may potentially help that individual.

At Jagruti Rehabilitation Centre, we do assessments carefully to determine whether the specific individual is to be taken on treatment or not.

How common is EMDR therapy?

EMDR therapy has become more popular worldwide over the years. It is a technique that mental health practitioners have adopted because it heals trauma victims rapidly and effectively.
Over 100,000 clinicians worldwide use EMDR therapy, and it has benefited millions of individuals. It is an integral part of treatment programs for PTSD and trauma recovery in private practices and rehabilitation centres like Jagruti. As its success rate increases, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has become one of the first approaches to treating trauma in different healthcare settings.
Several clinical studies show the effectiveness of EMDR therapy in treating not only PTSD but also other mental health disorders. The acceptance by such prominent health organizations as APA and WHO further proves the extensive use and effectiveness of the therapy.

How does EMDR therapy work?

A common query among those new to EMDR therapy is “What does EMDR therapy involve” or How does it work? Every therapy centre offers EMDR therapy differently. However, the overall method remains the same. At Jagruti Rehabilitation Centre, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy follows a well-formulated procedure that enables patients to safely re-experience traumatic situations and then reprocess them. It follows the following stages:

1. Assessment: The therapist assesses the patient's trauma history and mental health status.

2. Preparation: The therapist educates the patient on the techniques of relaxation for managing emotional distress.

3. Desensitization: Bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones) helps the patient recall traumatic episodes in the presence of their therapist.

4. Installation: These positive beliefs are installed against negative self-perceptions that go with the trauma along with emotions.

5. Reevaluation: The therapist keeps the assessment of progress, and therefore the symptoms of the patients must be reduced and must ensure that the therapy keeps going.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) assists patients in reducing the intensity of negative emotions tied to their memories. It reprocesses the traumatic memory in this controlled and supportive environment, thus providing long-lasting emotional relief.
