Psychedelic-Assisted EMDR Therapy: A Memory-Consolidation Approach to Psychedelic Healing

Psychedelic-Assisted EMDR Therapy is a groundbreaking exploration of how eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can be harnessed to enhance the beneficial effects of psychedelic medications.EMDR is a clinically validated therapy that utilises bilateral stimulation of the brain to access and reconsolidate pathologically encoded memories.The protocolised methods outlined herein offer a practical roadmap for unlocking the full potential of EMDR within the context of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies, paving the way for scalable psychedelic treatment options. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of research, case material and clinical insight, this book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how EMDR’s adaptive information processing (AIP) model conceptualises healing outcomes in psychedelic settings.Emphasising harm reduction, social justice and sustainability, this book systematically outlines a strong focus for the work, to ensure safer, more inclusive,
