New York, NY - Soho Integrative EMDR (646-585-1610) launches its new awareness campaign on the benefits of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in depression and trauma-related mental health treatments.

The latest campaign intends to help more people understand how EMDR is used, especially in alleviating distress associated with traumatic events. Dr. Rebecca Hoffenberg, Dr. Laura Faiwiszewski, and Dr. Irada Yunusova use EMDR to help patients address the underlying emotional cause of their current mental state and live more fulfilling lives.

The clinic is aware that EMDR is still relatively unknown to the public. Nevertheless, multiple studies have confirmed its role in resolving upsetting memories, especially when used in conjunction with other treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Specifically for depression treatments, EMDR therapy may help patients change their perceptions about themselves, any past events, and how they react to future situations.

The awareness campaign emphasizes the need to understand the roots of one’s depressive feelings. Contrary to popular belief, depression is not often a reactionary condition, where an individual becomes depressed over a single issue, but a culmination of several factors. By using EMDR in combination with CBT, patients learn to practice self-kindness and develop better, healthier coping methods when confronted with stress.

"Depression extends far beyond mere sadness, manifesting in symptoms such as loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, fatigue, changes in appetite, and feelings of worthlessness. By addressing underlying traumas, we can create strategies to untangle complex emotions, helping individuals lead more free and fulfilling lives," says a spokesperson.

Dr. Rebecca Hoffenberg, Dr. Laura Faiwiszewski, and Dr. Irada Yunusova work with individuals who want to proactively address their complex and relational trauma. They guide patients to move their eyes in specific ways while remembering traumatic or distressing events, which allows the brain to create newer neurological connections and helps individuals change their perceptions about specific events. Over time, patients learn to separate their feelings from traumatic memories and take steps to live a more peaceful life.

EMDR is highly recommended for treating childhood trauma that has contributed to adult depression. It is at its most effective when used with other depression treatments, like CBT and medication.
