When it comes to the world of therapy, mental health services, and counseling, finding the right services and providers can be confusing. EMDR is one of the many options within therapy services and at Mindful Wellness, we’re proud to offer both EMDR therapy and EMDR consultation services. But what’s the difference between the two?
What Is EMDR Therapy?
First, it’s important to understand what EMDR is and what the acronym stands for. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a form of psychotherapy that is designed to help patients work through trauma, PTSD, and cognitive disconnect. This treatment uses eye movements, guided imagery, and cognitive restructuring to support healthy brain function and trauma responses.
EMDR Therapy
Therapy using EMDR is a service provided to patients who have had traumatic experiences or life-altering events that have caused lasting mental health issues or concerns. Because this therapy is intended to help with reprocessing and managing symptoms, it is mostly a key component of a longer treatment plan.
EMDR Consultations
On the other hand, an EMDR consultation is a service provided to therapists to pursue certification for this treatment. Consultants for EMDR certification are an essential part of the process for therapists who are new to certification or the treatment as they help to guide you through learning the skills necessary to successfully treat your patients with EMDR.
