EMDR Psychotherapy

!€œEMDR!€ is an acronym for !€œEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing!€. This is a technique of therapy invented by a superb clinician Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1989. Dr. Shapiro discovered that the brain seems to metabolize and reduce the emotional pain from traumatic memory if a patient can simultaneously recall the memories while attending to bilateral sensory stimulation. The term !€œbilateral!€ here refers to a sensory stimulus that alternately arouses the right and left hemispheres of the brain. In the form of EMDR practiced at Cary Counseling Center, a moving dot of light on a screen is used to provide the sensory stimulation while various components of the troubling memory are requested by the therapist. Brain scan research in the last 10 years has suggested that the amygdala and hypocampus areas of the brain are very involved in preventing and later resolving traumatic memory. EMDR therapy is thought to possibly stimulate this mechanism. Whatever the mechanism, there are more controlled effectiveness studies on EMDR than for any other form of treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If you are interested, more background information on EMDR comparison studies can be mailed to you. Call Dr. Kaye at 467-1180 if you want this information. Ms. Miriane Portes and Dr. Bryce Kaye provide EMDR therapy for adults and Ms. Portes provides it for children.
