Rapid Resolution Therapy & EMDR Therapy, with Kelly Granite Enck, Hypnotherapist

EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a psychotherapy technique that was developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s. It is primarily used to treat individuals who have experienced traumatic events or have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR has gained significant recognition and popularity in the field of mental health due to its effectiveness in reducing distressing symptoms associated with trauma.

The underlying principle of EMDR is that traumatic experiences can become “stuck” in the brain’s memory networks, causing distressing symptoms to persist. These memories are believed to be inadequately processed and stored, leading to the re-experiencing of the trauma through intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, and emotional distress. EMDR aims to facilitate the reprocessing of these memories by stimulating bilateral brain activity through eye movements, auditory tones, or tactile sensations.

During an EMDR session, the therapist guides the client through a series of standardized procedures. The client is asked to recall a distressing memory while simultaneously focusing on external bilateral stimulation. This can involve following the therapist’s finger movements with their eyes or listening to alternating sounds through headphones. The bilateral stimulation is thought to activate both hemispheres of the brain, facilitating the processing and integration of traumatic memories.

The process of EMDR involves several phases. The therapist first works with the client to establish a therapeutic relationship and gather information about their history and current symptoms. Then, specific traumatic memories are identified as targets for reprocessing. The client is guided through sets of bilateral stimulation while focusing on these target memories, allowing them to process and integrate the associated emotions, thoughts, and sensations.

EMDR incorporates elements from various therapeutic approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and somatic therapy. It aims to address not only the cognitive aspects of trauma but also the emotional and physiological responses that are often associated with it. By reprocessing traumatic memories, EMDR aims to reduce the distressing symptoms of PTSD, improve emotional regulation, and promote adaptive coping strategies.

Now, in the context of a Zoom RRT (Rapid Resolution Therapy) therapy session, Kelly Granite Enck’s Hypnotherapy techniques can be integrated with EMDR to enhance the therapeutic process. Rapid Resolution Therapy is a brief and effective form of psychotherapy that focuses on resolving emotional and behavioral difficulties by accessing and reprocessing the root cause of the issue.

During the Zoom RRT therapy session, Kelly Granite Enck can utilize hypnotherapy techniques to induce a relaxed state of consciousness in the client. This state allows for increased receptivity to suggestions and facilitates access to subconscious material that may be contributing to the client’s distress. By combining hypnotherapy with EMDR, the therapist can guide the client into a deeper level of relaxation and focus, enhancing their ability to engage in the reprocessing of traumatic memories.

The integration of hypnotherapy with EMDR can also provide an opportunity for the therapist to address any underlying beliefs or negative self-perceptions that may be hindering the client’s progress. Through hypnotic suggestions and guided imagery, Kelly Granite Enck can help the client reframe their thoughts and develop more positive and empowering beliefs about themselves and their experiences.

Furthermore, during the Zoom RRT therapy session, Kelly Granite Enck can incorporate additional techniques from Rapid Resolution Therapy to further support the client’s healing process. These techniques may include metaphorical storytelling, parts therapy, inner child work, or somatic interventions. By tailoring the therapeutic approach to meet the specific needs of each client, Kelly Granite Enck can create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan that maximizes the benefits of both EMDR and Rapid Resolution Therapy.

In summary, EMDR is a highly effective psychotherapy technique used to treat trauma-related symptoms, while Rapid Resolution Therapy offers a brief and targeted approach to resolving emotional and behavioral difficulties. By integrating Kelly Granite Enck’s Hypnotherapy techniques with EMDR during a Zoom RRT therapy session, the therapist can enhance the therapeutic process, facilitate deeper relaxation and focus, address underlying beliefs, and provide additional tools for healing.
