People with obsessive-compulsive disorder struggle to soothe their fears. EMDR therapy initially helps create a calm or safe place for you to go back to in your mind. EMDR also incorporates a part of CBT into the process by providing appropriate thoughts about your experiences, and in addition, it accesses memories and fears that are stored in the brain as well as the body. It also incorporates bits of EXRP as revisiting past memories and events is a form of exposure. Through EMDR therapy once you have developed the ability to calm yourself and fully accept that your fears are not your fate, your therapist will target the specific obsession or compulsion by noticing how it affects your body as you recall the incidents, memories, fears, or events. Once that is done, the focus of OCD treatment in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut becomes thinking about the future and irrational thoughts associated with it.
