Hypnosis in EMDR

Sub title: 

 Taboo or Everyday Reality?

Author: 
Robert A. Yourell
Summary: 

 It's heterodox to say so, but many clinicians integrate hypnotic techniques or work with trance states whether they know it or not. It's better to do this consciously. Here are the main reasons as to why it's happening, and why it can be beneficial.

1) People go in and out of light trances during EMDR treatment.

a) Desentization causes relaxation that can allow the person to drop into a very deep state. Allowing a client to spend some time in reverie after desensitizing targets is allowing a hypnotic state to persist.

Summary: 

This is important for society, given the high rates of unemployment, homelessness, brain injury, suicide, and other problems our veterans are experiencing. 

Despite the numerous studies, the opinions of too many therapists and clients for it to be a cult phenom, and acceptance by all major insurance carriers, TRICARE ("the health care program serving active duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, retirees, families and survivors worldwide") seemed to be in no hurry to accept EMDR.
