In this mini-course I'm talking about the desensitisation phase, which is a phase four of the EMDR protocol.
We've got 8 phases in the EMDR 8-phase protocol:
-
History taking and case conceptualisation is phase 1.
-
Phase 2 is the preparation phase
-
Then we move into phase 3, the assessment phase, which is when we set up the processing
-
Phase 4 is desensitisation. That's where we're using bilateral stimulation. This is the phase I'm going to focus on in this video.
-
And then we go into phases 5-8: the installation of the positive cognition, the body scan, closure and reevaluation.
Phase four is what lots of people think about when they hear the term EMDR. It's the stage where we have bilateral stimulation and where we are getting our clients to think about the distressing thought and to pair that with bilateral stimulation.
This course has two role plays.
