Clinical interventions with EMDR C & A in Ticks - a Ticks protocol
Description
Background
Ticks are a common clinical manifestation of discomfort in children and adolescents. Characterized by the need of involuntary movements or sounds it as a potential implication in the developed of the youngers, especially because it affects self-esteem, pair relations and the exposure to potential traumatic events1,3,4,9. Also, it’s known that tics as a lot of comorbities making an important clinical issue to solve and that has lack of clinical resolutions.
Method
This clinical protocol for Ticks 13, allows to establish a several organized strategies that goes from the EMDR Developmental Protocol 5, CEEMDR 15, 16, 17, 18, Narrative Protocol 2, 10, 11, 12, Parental EMDR5,6. All these strategies, going in a path, comes from working in the primary and secondary traumatic attachment events 6, 7, 8, from that to implement the best EMDR C&A5 tools to break the involuntary needs that comes with the tics, even in the most severe form, Tourette Syndrome. All this protocol was implemented in 8 cases (ages 9-15).
Results
From the work with the integration of all these strategies in a protocol, was observed that the severity of symptoms decreased or disappear in all cases.
Conclusions
The use of EMDR C&A with the Ticks protocol13 seems to be a good clinical tool to solve a problem that all the others clinical strategies or interventions hadn’t be able to solve. The short number of this sample is a fragility of this protocol, but the results show that this could be a path so solve this clinical therapeutic problem.
