"The brief adjunctive process of EMDR is the joining of the primary therapist and the EMDR therapist to help clients when good psychotherapy has gotten "stuck".
The process entails well focused and clearly defined issues to address with EMDR such as intrusive memories, flashbacks, negative thoughts or feelings about themselves or others that just don"t change or go away in traditional treatment. Usually this type of adjunctive therapy is short term (4-12 sessions) to assist clearing up any single incident trauma or simple phobias that is interfering with the client making therapeutic gains. The success of the treatment is based on well focused and clearly defined goals for the EMDR therapist as defined by the primary therapist and client.
Adjunctive EMDR therapy may also be needed as a longer term approach where EMDR is integrated in the ongoing therapy of the client, especially for clients with complex trauma or dissociation."
