Children heal through play; it is their work. With posttraumatic stress, however, a child can be so shutdown and isolated within himself or herself that even the safe, welcoming environment of the play therapy room is not enough to unlock her chains. Such an environment creates a fear of self-expression. These behaviors and feelings have been documented by many who have researched posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children. The something more that is needed is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR therapy includes the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, memories, neurological processes, and a distinct eight-phase integrative treatment approach using bilateral stimulation (BLS). Dysfunctional stored memories of events contain emotions, physical sensations, and beliefs that can become intrusive and result in hyperarousal and avoidant behaviors. EMDR therapy facilitates reprocessing the implicit to become explicit and useful. The therapy uses integration of mind, heart, and body at its core.
