A Closer Look at EMDR & Brain Spotting

Treatment for addiction recovery has taken many technological strides in recent years. New programs and machines are consistently being introduced into the medical world that allows professionals in the field to take giant steps forward. For those in the addiction treatment field, the use of EMDR and Brain Spotting is an advanced way to treat the mental components of addiction stimulations.

The core of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) treatment involves activating components of traumatic memory or disturbing life event and pairing those with alternating bilateral or dual attention stimulation. This process appears to facilitate the resumption of normal information processing and integration.  Brain spotting is a new psychotherapy approach that theorizes that the field of vision can be used to locate eye positions that correlate with relevance to inner neural and emotional experience. After they are located, these eye positions, or Brainspots, may through maintaining eye fixation, lead to a healing and resolution of issues that are held deeply in the non-verbal, non-cognitive areas of the neurophysiology. These processes are a bit difficult to initially grasp, but the technology and science behind the methods have proven to lead to more accurate treatment and an overall more successful recovery.
