It is often observed that once the emotional body marker(somatic marker) has been located during EMDR coaching or EMDR self-coaching, it begins to move through the body during the intervention using RAPID EYE MOVEMENT STIMULATION. It then leaves its place of origin – the stomach, for example – and may move toward the chest. In doing so, the body marker not infrequently changes the physical sensation through which the user previously perceived it. In most cases, the user experiences more pleasant feelings and thoughts as soon as the somatic marker has lost its vehemence.
The reason for this can only be guessed at: Most likely, during the standard EMDR intervention, visual bilateral hemisphere stimulation (Rapid Eye Movement Stimulation), the different information contents of our two brain hemispheres are synchronized; and thus finally, albeit belatedly, a functional integration into our cognitive memory occurs. The cognitive co-player of the emotional body marker can spring into action. It is as if henceforth a spiritual regulative is available again. The specific memory of our body memory of a stressful experience, which had been created on behalf of our amygdala by associating a stimulus with a previously “overpowering” somatic marker, is henceforth weakened, loses its bodily energy, and is often also (physically) forgotten. The burdensome topic associated with it loses its topicality and fades away.
RAPID EYE MOVEMENT STIMULATION, which helps to “forget” stressful memories and reintegrate them as a helpful experience, is an essential component of the EMDR method. Thanks to the EMDR glasses REMSTIM 3000, EMDR can be easily applied in self-coaching.
