Description
Comment pouvez-vous bénéficier de l'EMDR ? L'EMDR est l'abréviation de Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (désensibilisation et retraitement par les mouvements oculaires). Il a été mis au point à la fin des années 1980 par une psychologue américaine, Francine Shapiro. Bien qu'initialement développée pour traiter des maladies spécifiques, telles que le syndrome de stress post-traumatique (SSPT), elle est désormais couramment (et avec succès) utilisée pour traiter un éventail plus large de symptômes et de conditions traumatiques. Lors d'une séance de désensibilisation et de retraitement par mouvements oculaires (EMDR), le thérapeute vous demandera de vous rappeler certains souvenirs liés à une expérience bouleversante ou traumatisante. Il ou elle vous demandera ensuite de déplacer vos yeux d'un côté à l'autre. Cela permet de retraiter les souvenirs traumatiques et de les transformer en souvenirs plus neutres ou positifs. Le fait de se rappeler constamment des souvenirs douloureux et de s'y exposer a pour but d'atténuer l'impact négatif de ces souvenirs sur la santé mentale d'une personne. Avant de poursuivre, examinons quelques-uns des avantages les plus étonnants que la thérapie EMDR peut offrir. 1. Elle est efficace et peut être réalisée en un rien de temps. L'EMDR n'est pas une solution miracle. Cependant, après seulement quelques séances de cette forme de thérapie, un patient peut constater des améliorations tout à fait remarquables de son état. Son excellente efficacité a été démontrée par diverses recherches et reste l'une de ses plus grandes qualités. 2. Aide à se remettre d'un traumatisme Bien qu'elle soit actuellement utilisée pour traiter un large éventail de maladies mentales, la désensibilisation et le retraitement par mouvements oculaires (EMDR) sont particulièrement efficaces pour aider les patients à se remettre d'expériences traumatisantes. L'EMDR peut être extrêmement utile pour les personnes ayant subi des pertes catastrophiques soudaines et inattendues, comme les personnes ayant servi dans l'armée, ayant été victimes d'abus sexuels ou ayant perdu un être cher à un jeune âge. 3. Il vous permet d'éliminer les croyances autolimitatives. La plupart des gens ont au moins quelques opinions négatives sur eux-mêmes et sur le monde, mais pour certains d'entre nous, elles peuvent devenir paralysantes. La thérapie EMDR vous donne la possibilité de recadrer les pensées limitatives à votre égard et de développer une plus grande confiance en vous. 4. Il vous dote des ressources nécessaires pour faire face aux stress futurs. Bien qu'un plan de traitement EMDR puisse ne comporter que quelques séances, les bénéfices qu'il procure sont durables et portables. Les ressources, les méthodes et les stratégies d'adaptation acquises au cours du traitement vous accompagneront toute votre vie et vous aideront à surmonter tout stress futur auquel vous pourriez être confronté. 5. Peut être combiné avec plusieurs autres traitements Vous envisagez de commencer une thérapie EMDR, mais vous ne voulez pas manquer vos rendez-vous réguliers de psychothérapie ? La bonne nouvelle est que, de par sa nature, l'EMDR fonctionne bien lorsqu'elle est combinée à d'autres formes de thérapie, notamment la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale (TCC), ce qui vous permet d'utiliser les deux formes de thérapie en même temps.
How can you benefit from EMDR?
EMDR is short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It was developed in the late 1980s by an American psychologist, Francine Shapiro. Although originally developed to treat specific illnesses, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it is now commonly (and successfully) used to treat a wider range of traumatic symptoms and conditions.
During an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) session, the therapist will ask you to recall certain memories related to an upsetting or traumatic experience. He or she will then ask you to move your eyes from side to side. This allows traumatic memories to be reprocessed and transformed into more neutral or positive memories.
Constantly recalling painful memories and exposing oneself to them is intended to lessen the negative impact of those memories on a person's mental health. Before we move on, let's take a look at some of the most amazing benefits that EMDR therapy can offer.
1. It is effective and can be done in no time.
EMDR is not a magic bullet. However, after just a few sessions of this form of therapy, a patient can see quite remarkable improvements in their condition. Its excellent effectiveness has been demonstrated by various researches and remains one of its greatest qualities.
2. Helps recover from trauma
Although currently used to treat a wide range of mental illnesses, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is particularly effective in helping patients recover from traumatic experiences. EMDR can be extremely helpful for people who have experienced sudden and unexpected catastrophic losses, such as those who have served in the military, been sexually abused, or lost a loved one at a young age.
3. It allows you to eliminate self-limiting beliefs.
Most people have at least some negative opinions about themselves and the world, but for some of us they can become paralyzing. EMDR therapy gives you the opportunity to reframe limiting thoughts about yourself and develop greater self-confidence.
4. It equips you with the resources to deal with future stresses.
Although an EMDR treatment plan may consist of only a few sessions, the benefits it provides are long-lasting and portable. The resources, methods, and coping strategies learned during treatment will stay with you throughout your life and help you overcome any future stresses you may face.
5. Can be combined with several other treatments
Thinking about starting EMDR therapy, but don't want to miss your regular psychotherapy appointments? The good news is that, by its nature, EMDR works well when combined with other forms of therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), allowing you to use both forms of therapy at the same time.
