Throughout the brainspotting process, therapists help individuals position their eyes in various ways that enable them to target the source of a negative emotion. | According to David Grand, the direction in which people look or gaze can affect the way they feel.

| - | |||
| - | This therapy works by activating different networks in the brain that store and process traumatic material while simultaneously using eye movements, tones, and tactile taps to stimulate the processing of memories related to the trauma. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In EMDR therapy, the therapist helps the client to identify connected thoughts, memories, images, and sensations related to the traumatic experience, then guides them through a series of alternating bilateral stimulation exercises. | ||

| - | ==== What does the process look like? ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[emdr|EMDR]] is widely recommended by many of the leading mental health organizations around the world. The treatment process consists of multiple phases, including: | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Phase 1:** History and Treatment Planning. The first phase of EMDR is a history-taking session, where you and your therapist will identify possible targets for therapy. With a greater understanding of you and your needs, your therapist will then develop a treatment plan that targets: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * the event(s) that occurred | ||
| - | * the current | ||
| - | * the present circumstances that cause distress | ||
| - | * the necessary abilities or behaviours needed to learn in the long term | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Phase 2**: Preparation. During the second phase of EMDR, your therapist will guide you in learning different coping and relaxation strategies to handle emotional distress. These stress reduction techniques are meant for you to use during and between sessions. Since EMDR tends to produce rapid change, the goal is to maintain balance and equilibrium in your day-to-day life. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Phases 3-6**: Assessment. During the third phase, you and your therapist will identify particular memories and the components associated with them, including: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * A detailed mental picture of a target event (from phase 1) | ||
| - | * A negative belief about yourself associated with the event | ||
| - | * Relevant emotions and physical sensations | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Phases 4-7**: Treatment. These phases focus on using EMDR therapy techniques to treat the targeted memories. While focusing on the mental image, emotion, or belief, your therapist will ask you to follow specific eye movements. These movements are also known as bilateral stimulation and can include other repetitive activities such as tapping. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Afterwards, your therapist will ask you to clear your mind and pay attention to the thoughts and feelings that arise spontaneously. Once they' | ||
| - | |||
| - | In case you get distressed, your therapist will guide you in returning to the present moment. This process is repeated until the distress over specific thoughts, images, or memories starts to fade. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Phase 8**: Evaluation. In the final phase of treatment, you'll examine your progress. | ||

| - | As the originator of EMDR, Dr. Shapiro has conducted groundbreaking research demonstrating its efficacy for treating conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, specific phobias and other psychological traumas. She has also developed an approach to understanding how memories become distorted over time and how they can be reframed ever more effective ways with EMDR therapy. | ||

| - | In addition to her research into EMDR, Dr. Shapiro is the author of several books on mental health topics related to trauma resolution, including Getting Past Your Past: Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy (2012)[( : | ||

| According to the model, different eye movements correspond to different types of mental activity, such as recalling memories, constructing mental images, or evaluating information. The SMEAC model has been used in various contexts, such as coaching, therapy, and business training, to help people understand and communicate more effectively. | According to the model, different eye movements correspond to different types of mental activity, such as recalling memories, constructing mental images, or evaluating information.
