EMDR therapy in a new paradigm: A transpersonal approach

The emergence of new paradigms of human consciousness is often preceded by trauma. Emerging from a pandemic and issues of social justice, a new paradigm unfolds as predicted by ancient traditions and validated by science. A transpersonal framework, as integrated into EMDR therapy, explores the therapist as a tool of consciousness. Dual focus attention from egoic to expanded awareness through mindfulness and resonance enhances AIP model in transforming PTSD. Brain integration and processing links to silent intuitive processes within an interconnected field of energy and informational flow. Inner focusing tracks energy enhancing positive resourcing, emotional stabilization, reprocessing, going beyond adaptive functioning, as client and therapist process within a shared field of consciousness through state changes. Spiritual wisdom may emerge as clients connect to cosmic whole, reinforcing future adaptive outcomes from a larger context. Identify intuitive feedback mechanisms and applications within nonlinear, moment to moment therapy through case presentation and experiential exercise.
