What is eye movement therapy?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1703277036759{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]When we experience a traumatic event<\/strong>, the brain releases stress hormones to deal with the situation: fight, flight or freeze<\/strong>. After a major emotional charge, we can try to free ourselves by talking. That’s why it’sso important to tell the story of what happened immediately afterwards<\/strong>. The brain can then encode the information as “digested”.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1700054140151{margin-right: 50px !important;margin-left: 50px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1702288470295{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”6945″ img_size=”400×400″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1703748973723{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1702288474997{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1718012617208{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Inother cases, where the information cannot be digested<\/strong>, we speak of post-traumatic stress<\/strong>. The repression of the event in the unconscious can resurface in different forms later on, such as phobias<\/span><\/a>nightmares, flashes or obsessional ideas. The trauma is always present and alive for the person. Any situation that resonates with the original event reactivates inappropriate and disabling sensations and behaviors.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1702452865820{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Sweeping eye movements from left to right stimulate the brain<\/strong> to process the information and release the emotional charge associated with the painful situation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1702452960757{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]This technique, developed by Francine SHAPIRO in 1987 in the United States under the name EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)<\/strong>, paved the way for other currents that drew inspiration from it, adding other complementary techniques such as hypnosis and NLP.
