Recommendations for use
The environment for EMDR will be used to alleviate the symptomatology caused by one or several traumatic situations. For that, the idea is that the patient, immersed in the scene, feels a certain relaxation feeling caused by the landscape and the environmental sounds.
Then, the element that will guide the ocular movements will be introduced, and the speed and direction will be adapted depending on the objectives and characteristics of the subject. Remember that you can also add auditory stimuli that go together with the visual ones.
To favor a better sense of presence, the healthcare professional can contribute with comments encouraging the patient to remember, and this way make the patient re-live the traumatic situation at a cognitive level.
