REMAP -- VF tx

Visual Field

Treatment

Training

Eye Movement therapy has evolved. Reed Eye Movement Acupressure Psychotherapy (REMAP) is an innovative behavioral and cognitive treatment that utilizes both the visual field and evidence-base acupressure points to produce stunning therapeutic results. The REMAP Visual Field Treatment (VF tx) is the "eye movement" component of this method.

REMAP—VF tx looks beyond EMDR for inspiration while offering innovation and improvements that makes the therapist’s job easier. This is a method that provides the practitioner more control over the use of visual field techniques, more precisely provides strategies for desensitization and enables you to better understand working with both the emotional mid-brain vs. the thinking brain (cortex).

How to Help Your Clients to:

Access productive treatment targets
Learn new tools to prevent or stop abreaction
Reduce or eliminate distress and emotional pain
Reassess the subjective meaning of their issues and help them to see themselves more objectively
Integrate positive shifts in perspective
Find solutions from their own inner resourcefulness
Enhance and strengthen self acceptance
Discover a place of peace in relation to past events

Accessing productive treatment targets and desensitizing the emotional pain attached to them is at the heart of this work. A key benefit is that REMAP—VF tx engages the mind in a database search that will automatically narrow to what is most important to treat. This can happen even when the client’s conscious mind does not know or is avoiding what is most important. When you have accessed, tuned into and identified a relevant treatment issue, you are positioned to really help your client. You can then separate the key features of the problem that need to be desensitized, understood and seen from a more resourceful perspective. This treatment equips you to accomplish each of those steps with concrete tools that gets the job done.

This makes REMAP—VF tx a foundational set of skills for any therapist and a powerful new behavioral and cognitive skill set for those who have studied other eye movement strategies.

While the work is largely behavioral and cognitive in orientation, the internal processes are very client centered. This allows your client to move at a pace that is most workable for them.
