EMOTIONAL RELEASE THERAPIES​

​

Emotional release therapy is an alternative healing method used to help release a person’s negative energy. This technique is widely used in grief therapy and in other areas of emotional trauma. It is also successful in healing both physical and emotional wounds.
 

Feel Your Pain the Right Way
One of the main tenets of the emotional release technique is the need to release past emotional hurts and pains. To do this a person must go through a process of feeling their pain.

Emotional releasing techniques require a person to discover what past hurts and emotions are currently causing mental or physical pain. Once these hurts are discovered they can be released, eventually alleviating the problem and filling the person with positive energy.

 

Release Your Pain
The use of an emotional releasing therapy is best accomplished with the help of someone trained in the methods of emotional release. The process of releasing emotions can be quite intense and a guide will be able to help you through the rough spots.

A guide will encourage you to focus on your body and discover any stress, tension, or pain. Different parts of the body tend to attract and store the negative energy from specific types of problems. 

Once you are aware of where your pain is located you can focus your energy on releasing the negative energy that is causing the pain. 

The New and Empowered You
Once you have experienced the benefits of emotional releasing techniques you will want to continue using the release methods to rid your body of negative energy. With practice you will be able to perform the techniques on your own without the use of a guide. The use of emotional release techniques will leave you feeling happy, positive, and empowered.

Techniques utilized are EMDR and Brainspotting.

​

EMDR

​

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989a, 1989b). Shapiro’s (2001) Adaptive Information Processing model posits that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experience to bring these to an adaptive resolution. After successful treatment with EMDR therapy, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced. During EMDR therapy the client attends to emotionally disturbing material in brief sequential doses while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus. Therapist directed lateral eye movements are the most commonly used external stimulus but a variety of other stimuli including hand-tapping and audio stimulation are often used (Shapiro, 1991). Shapiro (1995, 2001) hypothesizes that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing of the traumatic memory network, so that information processing is enhanced, with new associations forged between the traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information. These new associations are thought to result in complete information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and development of cognitive insights. EMDR therapy uses a three pronged protocol: (1) the past events that have laid the groundwork for dysfunction are processed, forging new associative links with adaptive information; (2) the current circumstances that elicit distress are targeted, and internal and external triggers are desensitized; (3) imaginal templates of future events are incorporated, to assist the client in acquiring the skills needed for adaptive functioning.

Brainspotting

​

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.

Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the clinical healing relationship. 

​

Brainspotting gives us a tool, within this clinical relationship, to neurobiologically locate, focus, process, and release experiences and symptoms that are typically out of reach of the conscious mind and its cognitive and language capacity.

 

Brainspotting works with the deep brain and the body through its direct access to the autonomic and limbic systems within the body’s central nervous system. Brainspotting is accordingly a physiological tool/treatment which has profound psychological, emotional, and physical consequences.
