[22:12] wittyfakename: whoa... so the more i read about this weird ass therapy... the more i'm morbidly curious
[22:12] Fab EU Lo SO: ..............?
[22:13] wittyfakename: they kind of... tap you on the head and wave a light in your eyes while you talk about traumatic incidents
[22:14] Fab EU Lo SO: whats it called?
[22:15] wittyfakename: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
[22:15] wittyfakename: it's essentially just exposure therapy, but the person who invented it OF COURSE doesn't want to make it seem that simple
[22:15] Fab EU Lo SO: who does this?
[22:16] wittyfakename: therapists
[22:16] Fab EU Lo SO: a lot of therapists?
[22:16] wittyfakename: any therapist that can pay the $1100 for the 2-session training therapy
[22:16] wittyfakename: not therapy
[22:16] wittyfakename: training... session!
[22:16] wittyfakename: no
[22:16] wittyfakename: 2 session training... seminar!
[22:17] Fab EU Lo SO: lmao
[22:18] wittyfakename: What's really, REALLY funny
[22:19] wittyfakename: is that the entire theory behind the treatment is that "eye movements can reduce the intensity of disturbing thoughts, under certain conditions" (according to the EMDR international association).
[22:20] wittyfakename: but... in 1997 Dr. Shapiro, who founded it, said that the eye movements really didn't have anything to do with it
[22:20] wittyfakename: this stunning conclusion came about after they did the study on BLIND PEOPLE!
[22:21] Fab EU Lo SO: what the hell
[22:21] Fab EU Lo SO: thats with the making and the no sense.
[22:22] wittyfakename: word
[22:22] wittyfakename: they took out the eye movement part and substituted clapping... and there was essentially no change in the response
