Rapid Cognitive Processing (RCP) - Healing Horizons Academy of the Healing Arts
Rapid Cognitive Processing is a psychological intervention to support the resolution of disturbing emotional outlooks and associated feelings. Its aim is to stimulate eye movements (although other stimuli can be used) to facilitate traumatic and emotive healing. This is generated through the link between rapid eye movement and the brain’s neural pathways and can relieve even deep-rooted concerns within a few sessions. RCP takes its origins from eye movement therapies but adds NLP, eye accessing cues and certain cognitive therapeutic elements to it.
RCP, Rapid Cognitive Processing, was created by Robert Russell PhD in 1998 and is an amalgam of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing) and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). Robert has been a multi-discipline mind therapist since 1991. He was within the first cohort of UK psychotherapists to be trained in EMDR by its originator, Francine Shapiro, in 1994. He soon realised that blending certain NLP concepts with EMDR provided a more effective therapeutic medium for his clients. In doing so, he devised a successful protocol for RCP.
