あらすじ・解説
Regina Blaine, a trauma-focused therapist, discusses EMDR therapy and the concept of trauma. Trauma is not solely determined by the intensity of an event but by how it is stored in the brain. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps process traumatic memories by inducing a neurobiological state similar to REM sleep. Bilateral stimulation, such as eye movement, tapping, or walking, activates both sides of the brain and facilitates the reprocessing of traumatic events. In this conversation, Regina Blaine, a licensed clinical social worker, discusses the impact of therapy on relationships and the importance of setting boundaries. She explains that therapy can cause disruption in relationships as individuals change and grow. She emphasizes the need for individuals to prioritize their own well-being and set boundaries to protect their peace. Regina also provides resources for finding a good EMDR therapist and highlights the importance of being ready for therapy and having the necessary support systems in place. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the role of therapists in guiding individuals on their healing journey.

EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories by inducing a neurobiological state similar to REM sleep. Bilateral stimulation, such as eye movement, tapping, or walking, activates both sides of the brain and facilitates the reprocessing of traumatic events. EMDR therapy can lead to long-lasting improvements beyond the termination of treatment. EMDR therapy has successfully treated sexual dysfunction, pedophilia, chronic pain, phantom limb pain, and medically unexplained physical symptoms. EMDR helps desensitize triggers and reduce physiological responses to traumatic events. It can clarify negative self-beliefs and boundaries. EMDR works by reprocessing memories and creating new neural pathways. Integration after a psychedelic experience is important, and EMDR can help process new perspectives and memories. EMDR brings subconscious thoughts and feelings to the conscious level. It is effective in treating anxiety and depression. EMDR has gained popularity due to its efficacy and referrals from medical professionals. Therapy can cause disruption in relationships as individuals change and grow.
