ENVISIONING THE INTEGRATED SELF

Integrating the Glasses with Psychotherapy and EMDR

NeuView Glasses present psychotherapists with a unique tool to help their clients discover and integrate important information about themselves within the context of the therapy setting.

While the glasses will be helpful to psychotherapists regardless of their theoretical persuasion, they will be found to be particularly well suited to those trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming.

The glasses can help locate “targets” and “resources” to be employed within the EMDR protocols.  When “looping” occurs, accessing and focusing on one side or the other will often cause the “looping” to cease and bring the client back into the process.  While the glasses can be used in conjunction with eye movements, audio, and/or tactile stimulation, they can also be used by themselves.

By alternating back and forth, one side to the other, the client can experience a “slow motion” version of the EMDR process.  There are instances when the client can feel distress on one side and the relief from that distress on the other side.  It is an empowering experience for the client to feel a sense of control over the speed at which they process their experience.  It should be noted that, even the anticipation of the relief can act as an integrating factor.
Therapists wanting to know more about how they can integrate the glasses into their work  will want to read the pioneering work Of Two Minds by Fredric Schiffer, M.D.  In addition, the small but valuable “how to book” , Toward Integration :One Eye at a Time by Audrey Cook  and Rick Bradshaw has much to offer.
