Achieving a healthier mental state and overcoming symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and other disorders is complicated work. Many patients working directly with a primary therapist or counselor to complete cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) or other talking-based programs may not achieve the full results they desire. Often, great progress is made but some stuck points remain that just don’t seem to resolve through talk therapy.
In these cases, EMDR can often be used in conjunction with other traditional therapy regimens. I partner with other primary therapists and their clients to design an EMDR plan that best fits their needs to help facilitate neurological reactions to specific memories, eliminate negative body sensations, and remove limiting beliefs. We work together to define goals for the patient’s EMDR treatments that align with their overall wellness plan.
Adjunct EMDR is not meant to replace or interrupt any current treatment a client is participating in with another provider. Instead, it is a supplement managed in conjunction with the primary therapist. During adjunct EMDR, the patient will continue to receive regular treatment under the primary therapist’s care.
In contrast to stand-alone intensive EMDR, adjunct EMDR might be a shorter-term program–sometimes concluding in less treatment hours than a full EMDR intensive. Adjunct EMDR is structured in the same way as stand-alone EMDR intensives and tailored to each client’s individual needs.
