Guest guest Posted March 2, 2000 Report Share Posted March 2, 2000 Hello all -- EMDR is the " eye movement " thing that you've been talking about. It stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It was developed by Dr Francine Shapiro who made the chance observation that eye movements can reduce the intensity of disturbing thoughts under certain conditions. EMDR was first used to treat victims of trauma. EMDR seems to have a direct effect on the way that the brain functions. For more info, the EMDR International Association has a website: www.emdria.org. I am completing my certification training in Interactive Guided Imagery with the Academy for Guided Imagery (www.interactiveimagery.com). Dr. David Bresler, one of the co-directors, is a health psychologist and acupuncturist who founded and formerly served as director of the UCLA Pain Control Unit. He and Dr. Marty Rossman developed the Interactive Guided Imagery process. While EMDR has nothing to do with Interactive Guided Imagery, Dr Bresler uses EMDR in his own practice with some clients and reports consistently positive results, particularly with healing past traumatic events. Okay, going back to lurking. I'm enjoying the recent increase in activity on the list. BTW, I'm an RN, massage therapist, Reiki practioner, do polarity and TT, and now incorporate Interactive Guided Imagery in my work with clients. Blessings all. -- Bea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2000 Report Share Posted March 2, 2000 Thank you, Bea, for explaining EMDR (and thanks to the other folks that helped me clarify eye movement therapy). I'm enjoying the increased buzz around here, too :-) Bea Lutterbeck wrote: > > Bea Lutterbeck <mizbea > > Hello all -- EMDR is the " eye movement " thing that you've been talking > about.
