The effect of stabilization in helping patients to regain security and control

Before using the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat an undergraduate student who suffered from AIDS-Hypochondrias is (caused by a traumatic event), stabilization was applied on this patient. It was found that stabilization was very significant in helping the patient to regain security. control and self-management for his emotion. This result was strongly supported by results of two subsequent Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) undergraduate student patients. Moreover, compared to former Panic Attack cases, which were treated by using supportive skills, stabilization was found to be far more effective than supportive skills. It was profoundly effective in helping the patient to be empowered to manage their own emotions and to regain security and control.
