Why Is Maintaining Good Mental Health Necessary?
Maintaining good mental health is essential for living a balanced life. It can be more challenging when dealing with addiction or other traumas from the past, but it’s possible with help. The right treatments provided by experienced professionals can make all the difference in managing any underlying issues you may have.
If you feel like your mental health or that of a loved one is suffering, you must seek professional help immediately. Often, the sooner treatment begins, the better the chance of overcoming whatever issue you face. Don’t try to go it alone or wait for things to improve independently—seek professional help today if needed.
What Is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy?
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy is an evidenced-based psychotherapy approach used to treat addiction and emotional distress caused by traumatic events in patients’ lives. During this treatment, patients focus on emotionally-charged memories while experiencing bilateral stimulation, such as sound or light flashes that move back and forth across their visual field. This allows them to reprocess these memories to relieve their emotional distress.
EMDR therapy has been proven effective for treating various issues, including:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Eating disorders
- Grief
- Panic disorder
- Phobias
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Substance use disorders (SUDs)
No matter what your issue is or how severe it may be, EMDR could be beneficial for you or your loved one in need of treatment at Evoke Wellness at Miramar.
How Does EMDR Therapy Work?
The core idea behind eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy is that when we experience a trauma, our brains become “stuck” in processing mode—unable to properly finish processing the event to move forward with our lives without being haunted by our past experiences. The goal of EMDR therapy then becomes helping patients unblock this processing through guided eye movements combined with talk therapy sessions where they discuss their experiences openly in a safe environment free from judgment or criticism. This combination helps them resolve painful emotions associated with traumatic events so they can heal and move forward with their lives free of emotional baggage.
There are many benefits associated with undergoing EMDR treatment, including:
- Improved sleep quality
- Increased self-esteem
- Relief from traumatic memories
- Faster recovery time
- Improved concentration ability
- Greater insight into one’s behavior
- Increased feelings of calmness and relaxation
- Increased feelings of hope
In addition, these benefits have been shown to last long after treatment ends, making it an invaluable tool for those seeking lasting relief from trauma. If you or someone you love struggles with mental health, EMDR therapy may be the key to a happier, healthier life.
