Combining EMDR & Brainspotting for Powerful Therapeutic Results
We specialize in offering a transformative approach to therapy that integrates the research-supported efficacy of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with the cutting-edge technique of brainspotting and clinical hypnosis. It uses emotions to help uncover and solve deep psychological issues by reorganizing memories. It’s a hands-on way to therapy. We provide therapy sessions online in Vancouver and BC-wide.Â
The Essence of EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy is renowned for its effectiveness in treating trauma and other distressing life experiences. It does so by helping the brain reprocess memories that are “stuck” in an isolated memory network that continues to cause suffering so you can get past your past. At Wellspring Counselling, some of our therapists utilise EMDR to facilitate the brain’s inherent ability to move toward psychological health. This process is vital for resolving maladaptive memories and core beliefs that keep you trapped emotionally.
Integrating Brainspotting: Natural Flow EMDR
Some of our therapists use brainspotting techniques by identifying emotional trigger points in your visual field to help heal unprocessed trauma in the brain. Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, and a variety of other challenging symptoms. It’s considered a natural evolution of EMDR therapy, with a premise that eye movement can connect with emotion and subconscious memories. By using brainspotting techniques, our therapists can locate spots in the client’s visual field that help access and heal unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain.
Emotion as the Pathway to Healing
In our practice, emotion is not just a by-product of therapy; it is an important guide. By focusing on emotion during EMDR and brainspotting sessions, we tap into the subconscious implicit memories and jump-start the body’s innate healing capabilities. This approach aligns with the concept of implicit memory reconsolidation, where the act of experientially attuning to the maladaptive turmoil coupled with a new adaptive emotional experience that juxtaposes the maladaptive one, can actually change the emotional memory itself. It allows our clients to not only recall traumatic events in a safe and supportive environment but to emotionally reprocess these memories to let go of the past so that it does not hijack the present. This is sometimes referred to, “getting past your past.”
The Role of Implicit Memory Reconsolidation
Implicit memory reconsolidation is the neuroscience-backed process that underlies the effectiveness of our integrated therapy approach. By revisiting traumatic memories in the context of a new, positive emotional experience, it’s possible to alter the way those memories are stored and thus reduce their distressing impact. This is at the heart of what makes our EMDR therapy so transformative.
