Below you'll find a post found in drafts, which I'd thought to have published several weeks ago. This train of thought offers insight into how EMDR therapy probes more deeply into the subconscious than talk therapy on its own:
Recently, I learned that identifying trauma, festering raw and unhealed within the subconscious, provides only the first step toward healing injured self esteem. Healing injured self esteem requires patterns of thought to reprocess the emotional complexity of a traumatic experience in a nurturing, knowledgeable, neutral environment, free from external tension and misjudgment. In addition to knowing what happened, feeling traumatized must undergo a process of desensitization .
It's well documented that left-brain-right-brain EMDR therapy proves more productive in terms of reprocessing trauma than talk therapy alone. EMDR has proven effective with healing traumatized, battle scarred vets.
Each time a traumatic reaction has reason to stir in its un-reprocessed state, the mind grows so agitated as to fire off alarms that signal a near and present danger. These alarming reactions will harasses the nervous system until the thought processor has been reprogrammed. Once a person consciously reprocesses yesteryear's unhealed vulnerabilities into today's strengths, anxious responses to the traumatic experience are disarmed.
This process of EMDR therapy probes so deeply into the subconscious as to successfully reprogram reactions to traumatized memories by way of reorganizing complex patterns of thought in a healthy manner.
This process, which restructures insecurities into healthy patterns of thought is formally known throughout the world of psychology as Eye Movement De-sensitization Reprocessing.
As you can imagine, I'm grateful to meet with a therapist who co-authored a textbook on EMDR. With her expert guidance, my insecure thought patterns continue to alter in healthy, self confident ways. This therapist, along with several others versed in EMDR therapy, was summoned to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut after twenty children and six staff members lost their lives to gunfire. These therapists conducted training sessions in EMDR for local therapists, who are ministering to the needs of traumatized survivors.
