What is EMDR Therapy and How Does it Work?

EMDR Therapist explains how a weird-looking therapy helps millions overcome anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, panic, PTSD, trauma, and other issues, answering the questions 'what is EMDR Therapy' and 'how does EMDR Therapy work'. What is EMDR Therapy? EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's most popular for how effective it is for treating trauma and PTSD. EMDR Therapy often requires fewer sessions and doesn't require someone to talk in great detail about trauma. It can be done virtually or in person, with a trained EMDR Therapist. How does it work? EMDR replicates the function of a phase of our sleep called rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep), where our brains are thought to be doing more heavy processing of our memories. This helps people to get stuck information (which can make people, places, or things triggering) unstuck so the body can resume it’s natural healing processing. 00:00 What is EMDR Therapy and How Does it Work? 00:14 What is EMDR Therapy? 01:17 What is trauma? 02:16 How someone knows if they have trauma 02:46 What does EMDR do? 04:30 How Does EMDR Therapy Work? 05:40 Where do triggers come from? 07:07 What does EMDR look like? 09:03 Conclusion Therapy Services You're tired of being dragged down by your past.

Transcript of highlights Today, I'm going to show you something that you can do to help yourself to be less reactive towards anything that might come your way and trigger you. Whether it's an annoying person, some noises that keep getting on your nerves, or just some emotions or thoughts you often get caught up in, we're going to do a little practice that can help you to train your mind and body so that you're not getting attached so quickly and easily to those things and instead create some space. All you have to do is just follow along and, if you stick around to the end, I'll talk about the idea of non-reactivity and how you can apply that to your everyday life. In a lifestyle where we might be continuously on the go, trying to get stuff done and check things off of our to-do list, it can be so easy for us to just react to something that's happening. Whether it's a sound that's annoying us, like some neighbors being noisy, or if it's more like this pain in your side that keeps getting on your nerves, or it's more like this emotion that you'd rather not feel, like anger, when we're on autopilot it's just pretty easy for us to immediately react to something. Though what we can do is instead just notice more deeply what's happening within us by being aware of our physical sensations, those things you feel inside your body, and even other things too, like urges, behaviors, and emotions, without getting caught up in any of them. To be able to be an objective observer about any of those things popping up just makes it so that we can take in important information and, by doing so, slow enough that we can make a conscious decision how we want to respond as opposed to immediately reacting. #nonreactivity #nonreactive #10minutemeditation #guidedmeditation #guidedmeditations #meditation #meditationvideo #meditationvideos #guidedmeditationvideo #guidedmeditationvideos #meditations #meditate #meditating #mindfulness #mindfulnessmeditation #mindful #mindfullness #mindfullnessmeditation #mindfulnessvideo #mindfulnessvideos #unintentionalasmr
The 'Stop Taking Things Personally' Meditation

The 'Stop Taking Things Personally' Meditation

Therapist guides a meditation for training the mind to stop taking things personally. The video begins and ends with a personal story about taking things personally. In the 'Stop Taking Things Personally' Meditation, we first practice mindful awareness with an aspiration for a clearer mind. With greater peace of mind, we can then more effectively challenge automatic thoughts. Towards the end of the meditation, deeper awareness allows for separation of thoughts and feelings. Then, practical steps are given on how to apply this to every day life.

Transcript of highlights What I'm going to show you today is a practice that you can do to help make it so that you're not personalizing things so much, and if you stick around to the end I'll tell the end of my story and also give you some information on how you can apply this non-personalization, if you will, to your everyday life. When we have a thought after someone cuts us off in traffic that they're trying to make us late, you can ask yourself 'what evidence do I have that they actually want to make ME mad or make ME late?' This is challenging though, and there might actually be something that we need to do first--maybe you've even already tried doing something like this, and it didn't work out so well. Maybe it was really hard to get yourself to that mental space where you could even think clearly like that. In order for us to achieve that more clear mindset, what we can do is just practice being mindful, and it can be just like we practiced earlier, being aware of all the sounds that you're hearing or--what I like to do is to focus attention on the physical sensations, the things you feel inside your body. And after you notice that you just feel better--feel more calm perhaps--or have a clearer mind, this is where you can challenge those thoughts. And other times, when people are clearly just being inconsiderate, just remembering that in most cases, it's probably not you, it's them. Maybe it even helps you to think about that person who cut you off in traffic is perhaps going through some death in the family or maybe it's: there's some emergency that they're driving a family member to the hospital. Or maybe it's just other personal things that they have going on and that they're like this to not just to you but many other people. We don't have to personalize all the things that are said and done around or towards us. And that in itself can be freeing. #10minutemeditation #guidedmeditation #guidedmeditations #meditation #meditations

Meditation for stopping compulsive behaviors

Therapist guides a 10-minute meditation for training the mind & body to stop compulsive behaviors. Practical steps are given, near the end of the meditation, to apply this to everyday life. Do you often find yourself checking your phone when you don't even really want to? Maybe you even notice that after you do this you feel worse or it gets in the way of work, school, or your social life. This meditation for stopping compulsive behaviors is for typical compulsions we might all encounter from time to time. Practicing this multiple times can make it more natural to (1) be aware of urges and compulsions, (2) delay to take in important information and make an informed decision, and (3) be more mindful of yourself, during and after compulsive behavior or preventing compulsions. This practice/meditation/video is not a treatment for any mental illness, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). If you suspect that you might have OCD, ask your health care provider about OCD and Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP) Therapy.

Transcript of highlights Welcome to this meditation for stopping compulsive behaviors. What we can do to apply this to our everyday lives is--number 1--just be aware of whenever you notice that pull or that urge to do something like check your phone. To build this muscle of self-awareness, what you can do is this practice that we just did--doing it more than just today. This will make it so it's easier for you to just naturally--more quickly--notice when it's happening in the moment. After being aware, step two is then making that conscious decision what you want to do next, with the the key word being 'want'--not getting so caught up in what you think you 'should' or 'should not' do. The first step allows us to take in that important information to help you determine what you actually want. After being aware, making a conscious decision what you want to do, step 3 is to then do whatever you choose and all the while just being aware--being mindful--of what that's like for you--not just during, though after. And even if you do that compulsion, this can be a learning experience for you, if you're able to be aware of it.

1-minute nasal breathing meditation

1-minute nasal breathing meditation

Counselor guides 1-minute meditation using nasal breathing as an attention anchor. If you don't have much time to do a meditation, this 1-minute video was designed for you. Beginners getting into meditation are often encouraged to meditate 10 minutes each day, for most days of the week. This isn't possible for everyone. A 1-minute video is much more accessible for those of us who are busy or just less willing to meditate at any particular moment. Some are even told to actively think of nothing or focus on nothing during meditation. Since doing so can be quite challenging, especially for a beginner, we can instead focus on the sensations of nasal breathing to help keep our attention in the here and now. This 1-minute nasal breathing meditation is a great way to go, if you are willing do something rather than nothing. By just doing this regularly, it's reasonable to believe that a meditation practice can increase in time, gradually, whether nasal breathing is used as an anchor or not.
