RITMO®

When to consider RITMO®?

Francine Shapiro is an American psychologist. In 1987, as she was on a walk, she noticed her eyes moving rapidly from side to side, while at the same time disturbing thoughts in her head became less intrusive. That's how she got started to devise the form of therapy known as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).  EMDR, which involves making rapid eye movements to stimulate the brain, assists people in processing traumatic memories The method was successfully tested with Vietnam veterans and was later imported to France by David Servan-Schreiber.

Traumatized individuals are highly anxious and permanently re-live the traumatic event (flash images, nightmares, intrusive images ...), and often avoid certain situations, activities, thoughts, feelings related to the trauma, have a hard time to concentrate or controlling their emotions, have sleeping disorders, ... all this a long time after the traumatic event or emotional shock took place.

RITMO® (Retraitement de l'Information Traumatique par les Mouvements Oculaires)*, developed by Lili Ruggieri is a combination of hypnosis and EMDR; this technique efficiently and quickly relieves people suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome in a long-lasting manner.

It is based on bi-lateral visual, audio and kinaesthesic stimulation ((tapping on knees, hands...), while the client dives into his memory.

This process activates the area of the brain in charge of "digesting" the traumatic event by separating it from the emotion. The perception of the event changes and is integrated: the event is put behind and no longer invades the present.

RITMO® is a technique for short-term therapies. In most cases, only a few sessions are needed, and sometimes one session is enough.

* Traumatic information reprocessing through eye movement

 

I use RITMO® combined with Hypnosis and Sophrology depending on your need.

 

* I do not take on people with psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, paranoia, manic depression  or bi-polar disorder) 

IMPORTANT: RITMO® is a technique which never replaces a medical treatment

"Stop smoking!"

By Bret

I have struggled for years to end the start-stop process of smoking. Willpower just wasn’t enough, and that is why I sought out Alexandra. Her calm and measured approach served me well. Two months on from my last session I feel well armed to fight and not give into temptation. I have broken the vicious cycle of failure.

"a pleasure to entrust your child to Mrs. Dobbs"

By Maissoun AL-REFAI

It is a pleasure to entrust your child to Mrs. Dobbs. Professional and pleasant. Her work was a great success for my son. I was very reluctant at first with sophrology and thanks to her work he is making great progress, I strongly recommend her. Best wishes (posted on Google)
