What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of psychotherapy treatment that can be used to aid those struggling with various mental health issues. Using the theory of AIP (Adaptive Information Processing), EMDR aims to remove the emotional and mental obstacles associated with traumatic experiences and their negative cognitive impacts. While it is most popular for its application in addressing the symptoms of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), it can be a transformative therapeutic option for those suffering from other psychological conditions.
EMDR, as the name implies, involves guided eye movements, or other forms of sensory stimulation, as a tool to aid in the processing of challenging emotions and traumatic memories. During EMDR, a therapist directs the patient’s eyes while they recall a traumatic event or situation. The goal is to access and process the strong feelings linked to specific memories or circumstances, thereby lessening emotional distress, and ultimately reducing the negative emotions linked to an individual’s trauma.
How Does EMDR Treatment for OCD Work?
While OCD has a strong genetic component, traumatic events can cause the onset or worsening of symptoms. When it comes to treating trauma-related OCD, EMDR therapy can be used to target specific memories and emotions linked to obsessive behaviors and compulsions.
By identifying, addressing, and challenging the negative associations and irrational thoughts that fuel disruptive behaviors, many people struggling with OCD can see a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in overall emotional well-being.
Exposure-based therapies, such as EMDR, have been shown to be especially effective in the treatment of OCD. By experiencing triggering memories and the resulting responses in a safe environment, individuals can understand their specific fears, unpack their reactions, and lessen emotional distress.
