A modification of the EMDR trauma treatment protocol
Description
Trauma produces a change in our sense of self, our sense of the world's meaning, of its safety, of its rationality. For better or worse, the victim of trauma is no longer the same as he or she was prior to the trauma. One of the greatest strengths of EMDR is that it specifically acknowledges the need for cognitive restructuring as well as serves as a means to that end, formulating negative and positive cognitions. This article points out a here-tofore unrecognized obstacle to cognitive restructuring and describes a simple modification of the EMDR trauma protocol that can be quite helpful for restarting stalled processing.
