By Krystal Branch


Many people who have gone through a traumatic event in their life will surely want to be free of their stress. To these people, they will surely find it helpful to go through with their EMDR Denver treatment. They have to find the right clinician to administer the treatment. The clinician knows about the phases that must be taken for this treatment too.

The first phase has a lot to do with history and treatment planning. At this point, the professional will conduct an initial evaluation with regards to the history of the client. Depending on the results of the evaluation, the professional will then develop a general treatment plan that will be used for treating the person suffering from the said disorder.

The next phase is the processing. At this point, the person is asked to focus on the disturbing memory while the professional initiates the lateral eye movement. The professional will get associative information from the person suffering from the disorder during this procedure. There will be new materials to work on after this phase.

The professional will then focus on the assessment part of the treatment. During this point, the professional will ask the person to visualize an image representing the disturbing memory. The person will then be asked to describe it through negative cognition. Once done, the person will then be asked to develop positive cognition to associate with the image.

Desensitization should then come next. With the traumatic memory still lingering in the patient's head, the patient should then pull up the negative cognition one has formed for this. Using the proper bilateral requests and gestures for the patient, it should be possible for the clinician to let the patient be desensitized about the event. There will be no need to feel as negatively about it as before.

Installation. The next phase that the client has to go through is the installation of the positive cognition into one's mind to overcome those negative cognition embedded inside. This is the phase where the therapist will help the client replace all of those negative cognition with those positive cognition developed during the assessment phase.

Another one is the body scan. With this as the next phase, the patient will have to recognize any uncomfortable sensations lingering in the body. This is usually present when one is thinking of the traumatic experience they went through. During their reminiscing, they have to find tensions and physical discomfort in their body to eliminate them.

Find closure with it. There are events that cannot be resolved completely within the time limit of the treatment. In this case, one might want to make use of relaxation techniques to help with acquiring emotional stability and tranquility. These techniques will surely be of great help to the person suffering from the traumatic event.

Reevaluation is the last phase for the treatment. The professional will be asked to reevaluate the word they did in the previous sessions. They have to make assessments in between each visits to see if the person can manage well on their own. This is the part where one can determine whether things are already find now or if the treatment should proceed as planned.
