POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (EMDR)

WHO IS IT FOR?

In our lives, we may be faced with events that are difficult to overcome. If your daily life is being polluted by traumatic thoughts and your mind is unable to find peace, this program will benefit you!

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be compared to an anxiety disorder that results from an event with traumatic potential. It is estimated that 70% of the world’s population has experienced or will experience such an event, and about 10% of people suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. These individuals have three main symptoms (repetition or intrusion, avoidance, and hypervigilance), which are often accompanied by depression, sleep disorders, or difficulty concentrating.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, developed by American psychologist Francine Shapiro reduces anxiety, stops the onset of traumatic images and intrusive thoughts (flashbacks). EMDR plays a therapeutic role through a visual recall process associated with eye movements. It also improves sleep for people with PTSD.

Rebalance Impulse® is the first fully autonomous device for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD). The sessions specifically designed for this exclusive program offer synchronized light scenarios (Synchromotherapy®) based on frequencies whose effectiveness has been validated in the laboratory through electroencencephalogram (EEG) testing. The user can easily perform visualization and eye movement exercises according to chromorhythm-based protocols, without the intervention of a therapist. These stimulations trigger a very specific brain activity, creating a kind of deep slow-wave sleep while awake. The synchronization of activity in different brain regions induced by these exercises also stimulates memory mechanisms and transforms intrusive thoughts into non-traumatic memories.
