Mark’s inspiration for “EMDR Inspired Art and Poetry – A Meditation on Hope and Healing for Troubled Times”
*EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process traumatic experiences that are causing emotional distress. It is commonly used to treat anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health conditions.
EMDR therapy involves the use of bilateral stimulation, which can include eye movements, tapping, or sounds, to activate the brain’s natural ability to process and integrate traumatic memories. During a typical EMDR therapy session, a trained therapist will guide the client through a structured process that involves focusing on a specific traumatic memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation. This process can help the client to process the memory in a more adaptive way, which can lead to a reduction in emotional distress and anxiety.
