The aim of this study was to examine the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in online counseling for children with single-incident trauma.
A qualitative case study method was employed. The research was conducted with two volunteering children and their parents. The sessions were transcribed by the authors, and code names (Ipek and Eylül) were assigned to protect the participants' identities. İpek's traumatic memory was explored through drawing pictures with tactile bilateral stimuli and Eylül's traumatic experience was addressed using tactile bilateral stimuli during the EMDR therapeutic story technique. The Child Revised Impact of Events Scale (CRIES-8) was used for pre-test, post-test, and follow-up testing to support the session descriptions.
The results indicated that post-traumatic symptoms were reduced and remained at a low level for an extended period in both clients.
It is suggested that future studies should explore various bilateral stimulation methods in online EMDR, conduct larger-scale studies with children who have experienced different types of traumatic events, and investigate the impact of various EMDR protocols on children.
本研究旨在探讨眼动脱敏再处理疗法（EMDR）在针对单次事件创伤儿童的在线咨询中的应用。
采用定性案例研究方法。研究选取了两名志愿儿童及其父母。作者对咨询过程进行了转录，并为保护参与者身份分配了化名（伊佩克和埃吕尔）。通过带有触觉双侧刺激的绘画来探究伊佩克的创伤记忆，在EMDR治疗故事技术中使用触觉双侧刺激来处理埃吕尔的创伤经历。使用儿童事件影响量表修订版（CRIES - 8）进行预测试、后测试和随访测试，以支持咨询过程描述。
结果表明，两位来访者的创伤后症状均有所减轻，并在较长一段时间内维持在较低水平。
建议未来的研究应探索在线EMDR中的各种双侧刺激方法，对经历不同类型创伤事件的儿童进行更大规模的研究，并调查各种EMDR方案对儿童的影响。
