Rapid Transformational Therapy and Rapid Resolution Therapy are clinical hypnotherapy interventions designed to support clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and addictive behaviors. These treatment modalities are designed to provide significant relief to clients as they manage the impact of traumatic experiences on their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION REPROCESSING (EMDR) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKrfH43srg8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IPsBPH2M1U
In this type of therapy, you focus momentarily on the traumatic memory. At the same time, a therapist directs you to move your eyes in various directions. This can help weaken the emotions you usually feel in response to the memory. With a therapist, you pinpoint a negative image from the traumatic memory along with a belief or feeling you have related to your trauma. You don’t have to go into detail. Then you choose a positive belief you’d like to feel about your trauma — something you’d feel if the pain was behind you. While you focus on the traumatic event, your therapist guides you through sets of side-to-side eye movements. You may follow your therapist’s hand with your eyes or watch a light move from one side of a board to the other. Depending on your therapist’s approach, it might involve sounds or taps instead of lights. You repeat this process until the event feels less traumatic. The combination of focus on the memory and eye movements or sounds lets you process the memory safely. It also changes the way your brain stores the memory.
