Understanding online EMDR therapy

What is EMDR therapy, and how does it work?

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a unique form of therapy that aims to reduce the distress associated with traumatic memories. Therapists use several types of stimuli during EMDR therapy, such as moving a light wand back and forth while the patient tracks it with their eyes and focuses on the target memory. The therapy is grounded in the understanding that trauma can overwhelm our brains, creating lasting effects. A therapist trained in EMDR can help you process traumatic memories and promote emotional healing.

EMDR may not be the best treatment for your needs. Understanding the process and discussing this treatment method with a mental health professional is important.

Common issues addressed by EMDR therapy

EMDR therapy can be effective in treating a range of conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders. This therapy has shown positive results for people who have faced different types of trauma, ranging from an adverse experience or abuse to more subtle yet significant life events. It can often benefit those who haven't succeeded with conventional treatment methods.

Potential benefits of online EMDR therapy

Online EMDR therapy offers the convenience and comfort of receiving treatment from your home. It can be convenient for those with busy lives, limited mobility, or prefer the privacy of their own space. Plus, the online format lets you connect with specialized therapists in your state who may not be in your local area, making treatment more accessible.

What to expect during an online EMDR therapy session

During an online EMDR session, your therapist will guide you through specific eye movements or tasks as you recall distressing events. Combining discussion and guided exercises during online sessions aims to reduce the emotional impact of these memories. In the online setting, your therapist can use digital tools to enhance the EMDR process, adapting in-person techniques to suit the virtual environment.

Choosing the right EMDR therapist

Look for a therapist trained and certified in EMDR therapy who has experience relevant to your specific issues.
In the initial sessions, gauge whether you feel understood and comfortable with the therapist's style and approach.
Consider practical aspects like appointment availability and fees to ensure the therapist is within your budget and fits your schedule.

Insurance coverage for therapy varies by provider and plan. After you've booked your first session, Rula verifies your insurance coverage and follows up with a cost estimate, including any required copayments.

FAQs about online EMDR therapy

How effective is online EMDR therapy compared to in-person sessions?

Recent studies suggest that, for many people, online EMDR therapy can be as effective as in-person sessions. Many therapists on the Rula platform have experience adapting EMDR techniques for online formats. While some may prefer in-person interactions, others find online therapy more convenient and less intimidating, which can help make sessions more effective.

Is EMDR therapy right for me?

EMDR therapy is suitable for many people dealing with trauma or stress-related issues. It may be helpful if other therapy approaches haven’t fully addressed your symptoms or you're looking for a different approach. It’s important to consult a professional EMDR therapist to discuss your situation and determine if this therapy fits your needs best.

How should I prepare for online EMDR sessions?

Before starting EMDR therapy, it’s important to prepare yourself to face potentially distressing memories. Consider letting trusted people know you're planning to start working with a therapist and might need extra support as you dive in. Acknowledge that the process might bring up a range of emotions and that healing isn't always linear. Remember that your therapist should support you every step of the way, and you can feel fully comfortable sharing your experience with them.

How long does EMDR therapy last?

The length of EMDR therapy varies depending on your circumstances, including the nature of the trauma and your response to treatment. Some people may experience significant improvement within a few sessions, while others might engage in EMDR therapy over several months. Your therapist can tailor EMDR to your unique healing journey.

Are there any requirements for participating in online EMDR therapy?

It’s important to have access to a private, quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. This helps in maintaining focus and privacy during sessions. You’ll also need a reliable internet connection and a device capable of video conferencing.
