How Does EMDR Work?
For someone who’s suffering from schizophrenia, EMDR therapy, like that offered at Oceanfront Recovery in Laguna Beach, CA, may be able to help control the symptoms and make life more manageable.
A typical EMDR session may last between 60 and 90 minutes. During this time, your therapist may ask you to recall a traumatic event in your past. As you think about the trauma, you’ll examine how you feel — your thoughts and emotions. Next, you’ll identify negative thoughts and then imagine a positive one to take its place. Your therapist may direct you to move your eyes left to right as you focus on doing this. Next, they may begin a series of taps. After each set, you will be asked to focus on what you’re thinking. The sets continue until you start to feel better about the event in question.
EMDR is often instrumental in helping clients experience a shift in the way they feel about past trauma. It helps the brain move past the experience and fully resolve it. For example, our schizophrenia treatment program in Laguna Beach, CA, uses EMDR, among other therapies, to help clients.
