Reevaluation in EMDR

Reevaluation

Reevaluation in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) plays a key role in assessing the progress and helpfulness of therapy. This process ensures that the therapeutic outcomes are sustained and identifies any areas that need further attention.

In-depth overview

Reevaluation in EMDR is the phase where therapists and clients review the progress made in previous sessions. This involves assessing the client’s current state, the impact of the processing done, and determining if additional sessions are needed.

Key features and benefits:

  1. Helps in tracking therapeutic progress.
  2. Ensures that any unresolved issues are addressed.
  3. Provides an opportunity to reinforce beneficial outcomes.

How it helps

This phase helps to consolidate the therapeutic gains and addresses any residual issues that may arise after the initial processing sessions.

How it works

During reevaluation, the therapist and client collaboratively review the progress, discuss any remaining concerns, and plan the next steps in the therapy.
