Everything You Need To Know About Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing; The New Type Of Psychotherapy

EMDR Sessions

EMDR sessions normally last for anywhere from an hour to an hour-and-a-half, which is the typical duration of any therapy session. During the first session or two, the therapist will go over the client's psychological history and what EMDR might be able to do to help the individual work through their past traumas. The client is welcome to ask questions and voice their concerns. The therapist typically lays out the EMDR format for the client, explaining that EMDR is an eight-phase process that can take eight or more sessions, depending on how things progress. If the client feels uncomfortable with EMDR, they are free to opt out of this treatment.
