L.A. Style House in Beverly Hills, CA offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) as an effective treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Developed by Francine Shapiro in 1989, EMDR therapy has been widely used by clinicians for over 30 years to manage addiction and other mental health disorders such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. Through a series of sessions involving rapid eye movements and memory recall, EMDR therapy aims to alleviate the distress associated with painful memories and retrain the brain to process trauma in a different way.
As an integrative form of therapy, EMDR sets itself apart from traditional talk therapies by incorporating rapid eye movement exercises. During a typical session, clients focus on an external stimulus while the therapist stimulates bilateral eye movement, stimulating both hemispheres of the brain. This process allows clients to complete mental exercises and recall traumatic events, replacing negative beliefs with new empowering ones. With its ability to desensitize the brain to past events and promote rapid change, EMDR therapy is now being integrated into addiction treatment and rehabilitation programs, offering clients a powerful tool for recovery.
