Abstract

Fobi durumlarında bireyler belirli bir nesne veya durum karşısında yoğun bir korku ya da kaygı yaşarlar. Fobilerin, bir travma sonucu ortaya çıkabilmesinin yanı sıra, bir fobik korku geliştikten sonra, bireyin korktuğu nesneyle karşılaşma düşüncesi ya da bu nesneden kaçınma hali travma olarak nitelendirilebilir. EMDR terapisinin çeşitli fobik durumlarda etkin olduğuna dair bilgilerden hareketle, bu yazıda uçuş fobisi odağında iki farklı olgu anlatılmıştır. Her iki olguda da EMDR terapisi uygulanmış ve danışanların korku ve kaçınmalarının ortadan kalktığı görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, travma ile ilişkili fobi türlerinde EMDR’nin etkili olduğu çıkarımı yapılabilir.

Abstract

In phobias, individuals experience intense fear or anxiety in the face of a particular object or situation. In addition to the fact that phobias may arise as a result of a trauma, after a phobic fear develops, the thought of encountering or avoiding the object of fear may be considered as a trauma. Based on the information that EMDR therapy is effective in various phobic conditions, two different cases with a focus on flight phobia are described in this article. In both cases, EMDR therapy was applied and it was observed that the fear and avoidance of the clients disappeared. As a result, it can be concluded that EMDR is effective in trauma-related phobias.
