EMDR Has a Similar Impact as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
UnknownEMDR has been consistently compared to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps the individual identify negative thought patterns associated with emotions and switch them to more realistic, positive, and helpful thoughts. These two forms of psychotherapy are a lot alike and have been used successfully in conjunction. Biofeedback therapy can also be thrown into the mix in order to generate the best possible results. When EMDR and CBT are used in combination, the individual is better able to integrate positive thought processes into their day-to-day life. Biofeedback rounds out the process by teaching self-soothing for physical sensations aroused by thoughts and emotions.
