The way you explained the science behind it is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I often wonder if this is why ASMR often helps with my anxiety & depression. It helps me go to sleep when I'm feeling overwhelmed with too many intrusive racing thoughts.
It is most likely a relaxation technique to calm you down before sleeping, relieving your nervous system by pleasing sensory information and shifting the negative thoughts and feelings to the back of your mind rather than processed. But possibly the grounding of calming sensory stimuli helps you to ground in the safety of the present instead of living in your mind where your nervous system was previously overstimulated therefore having a dual impact in helping you sleep and be relaxed :) EMDR would still be very helpful to process these thoughts and feelings that are triggering the bodily and mental reactivity causing anxiety and depression if it is traumatically rooted. This is because instead of coping with the impact of the trauma, it is processing the memory to the long-term store by addressing it which can eliminate the unconscious impacts of it being unprocessed and fragmented in your unconscious that is contributing to your distress :)
Would love to hear what helps for sleep?
@@androidery1999Not sure what helps her, but what helps me is ASMR back scratching/tracing. You can try just searching "ASMR for sleep" and you can test the different kinds. Many of them have a sample at the beginning of the video, of what will be shown in the video. Another thing that could help might be the binaural beats hz frequency music.. 528 hz is pretty relaxing... and it can also be good when it has the positive affirmations in the background (they sink into your subconcious to help make you feel better, more positive, more comfortable in your skin and in the world and in life). You could try brown noise or pink noise, or there are even lullaby and bedtime story channels
Thank You, I really Appreciate it as future Psychiatrist.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Very helpful information
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this great explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making this video. My therapist is wanting to start me with EMDR soon. Knowing I need a support group in case of traumas surfacing has me questioning if now is the best time to take this approach. Thanks again.
ACA is a good support group. Best wishes.
I feel you.
Tanks, learned alot ❤
Glad to hear that!
Thanks, I am thinking of venturing into EMDR training. I see many veterans in my practice and believe learning this therapy model would be helpful to my clients.
Happy to help!
Thank you
You're welcome!
ECT damage. Can you recover lost (STOLEN) memories through EMDR? Was reduced to a virtual vegetable with intensive multiple ECTs + max level drugs. Parts of me never recovered. I desperately WANT to remember what happened. Some memories have come back - but its the blank spaces, the executive dysfunction which made me unemployable for the rest of my life. It all happened 48 years ago i am still overwhelmed every time a new scrap of memory comes back. And for God's sake don't advise me go to a psychiatrist!!!
How is this on C-PTSD I've been trying to find help in this. I'm diagnosed with C-PTSD. I've seen other PTSD therapists but none have helped. Is this available at UPenn. They treat PTSD but not C-PTSD. HELP
I’m not sure if UPenn offers it. CPTSD is not recognized by the DSM so insurance won’t pay for CPTSD therapy, therefore most larger systems won’t advertise that they treat CPTSD. You may be better off finding a smaller group practice that specializes in trauma
What is C-PTSD?
Do we actually have to talk about the tragic events or just think about it?
Emdr can be done without talking about the trauma
I don’t know about how other people feel about this, but I guess that a person with PTSD who cannot afford it would not be very happy to learn about it.
Think about it. It’s quite cynical.
It seems far too simplistic to me and the theory proposed seems very tenuous.
Just becuase you have REM sleep it doesnt mean that during that REM sleep you are dealing with memories or experiences in a positive or effective way.
I have dreams and nightmares nearly every night and im left feeling disturbed when i often wake from these feeling tired and not very motivated during the day
Really, no one has any idea why it works. An awful lot of solutions discovered accidentally for problems are that way. However, no one is required to use this method of therapy; it clearly requires a lot of cooperation and couldn’t just be forced on someone.
wow! is your name really Doctor?
I have to say, the bit about “Oh noes, what if big bad feelings show up???” was kinda infantilizing and condescending, and I bet most heavily traumatized people would feel the same way. If the mere thought of someone else not wanting to live scares the therapist that badly, seems to be a them problem to me. Maybe work on that paranoia that one of your clients is going to self-end and thereby end your career. It’s interfering with actually helping people with this very common situation for someone seeking therapy. You’re worried I could get hurt? That’s very amusing; nothing that could happen in the therapy room could be near as bad as what I’ve already survived, but I guess your concern is cute and sweet, like my seven-year-old being concerned about me? 🤷♀️
Shut up and get to the point
Mildly inappropriate!
If you have to explain something like this and defend it so much its probably bulls**t.
He literally used scientific rationale to explain something? In this case does this mean everything ever produced by science is bs? Jesus christ mr Neon Dungeon
Im sorry you had a bad day❤
Thinking about anything multiple times can eventually desensitize you to the thought regardless of the movement of your eyes... so yeah, idk how substantial the eye movement actually is.
I’ve done some EMDR work and it was definitely beneficial.
