EMDR/Flash Technique
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy was developed as an approach to transmute negative experiences into adaptive experiences (Shapiro, 3rd ed. 2018). These experiences may include episodic traumatic events or complex developmental trauma. Oftentimes a person experiencing trauma has a range of symptoms that may include intrusive images, negative thoughts and beliefs about self or roke in situations, fear, shame, guilt, anxiety and internal body sensations. The EMDR is primarily done through bilateral stimulation (eye-movements), tactile or auditory for the purpose of reprocessing dysfunctional material.
Brainspotting
The brainspotting technique is a powerful approach developed by David Grand, PhD which utilizes the client’s innate brain-body healing capacity. Essentially, the brain spotting technique enables clients to focus in and process through past or recent traumas causing distress through the use of deep brain sources where many emotional and somatic problems remain. Our brains are organically designed to heal and protect us from pain. As we use this approach, we give our brain the green light to do its best work!
