A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance, 1st Edition Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR combines two influential and effective therapies, EMDR therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy. Many therapists trained in EMDR find that additional resources are needed for patients who present with symptoms of complex trauma and dissociation. Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR takes a body-based and bottom-up approach that seeks to resolve trauma by reprocessing information at multiple levels – in the gut-brain, the heart-brain and the head-brain, as well as in the endocrine, immune and nervous systems.
