Because emotions are directly connected to the body, physical disturbances often occur during periods of strong emotional stress, such as anorexia, bulimia, allergies, pain, tinnitus, addictions, and headaches. With remarkable success, some innovative therapists have begun to treat these emotionally induced disorders with EMDR and report on their experiences in this book. In EMDR therapy, the therapist encourages the patient to engage in specific eye movements after structured preparation, which helps process distressing thoughts more effectively. Further chapters describe the treatment of anxiety disorders with EMDR, emotional replenishment (resource organization), and the mechanisms of action of EMDR. In her chapter on attachment therapy with EMDR, Marion Seidel demonstrates how she works with mothers and children together.
