EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION and REPROCESSING (EMDR)
An eight‐phase psychotherapy based on earlier life experience, present day stressor, thoughts for future

PTSD
Anxiety and panic attacks
Depression
Phobias
Sleep problems
Goal of EMDR according to wheeler
“…link dysfunctional memory networks with a larger, more adaptive network.”
How does EMDR work
Bilateral stimulation which is a rhythmic alternation of stimulation between the left and right hemisphere
the traumatic memory is isolated on one part of the brain and other parts cant access
tx triggers integration of affect with cognition, sensations, and emotions
Dual attention stimulation facilitates interhemispheric connection
8 phases of EMDR
History and Treatment Planning
Preparation
Assessment
Desensitization
Installation
Body Scan
Closure
Re‐evaluation
EMDR Phase 1 History and treatment planning
how it works, selection of therapy, how might best be used, getting to know each other
EMDR Phase 2 Preparation
explain more about the process and terms and sets expectations and client can ask questions and express concerns. Together work on coping strategies client can use if difficult emotions come up. How can they soothe themselves
some need a lot of time in phase 1-2
EMDR Phase 3 assessment
target identified
client asked to think about what those images are and the body sensations. Dont dwell on it but identify it. set baseline measurements.
subjective units of disturbance: scale of severity. goal to get to 1 (1-10)
validity of cognition scale: positive thoughts about the event, “I can get through this”. Do they have any of those starting out?
EMDR Phase 4 desensitization
when they focus on the traumatic event and continues until SUD reduces to 1 (neutral)
new images might come up but goal is neutrality
EMDR Phase 5 installation
when they associate or strengthen positive beliefs associated with the event.
there is hope for me
do that until they feel like its true
EMDR Phase 6 body scan
hold in mind target event and positive belief and scan head to toe looking for discomfort in the body
EMDR Phase 7 closure
how you close every one of the reprocessing sessions
how you return the person to a state of calm
cant just let them go, they may still be upset
deep breathing/meditation
EMDR Phase 8 re-evaluation
how you begin each new session after you have gone through reprocessing successfully
are they still having positive feelings about the future
tx is continuing in the right direction
