[Dual Attention Technique] refers to individuals actively focusing on internal distress experiences such as "traumatic experience," "negative emotions," or "physical sensations" while maintaining their attention on a specific external stimulus in the present.
This technique is rooted in information processing theory and the adaptive information processing model, systematically proposed and applied by American psychologist Francine Shapiro when she founded the [Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy] in 1987. The aim is to allow the brain's left and right hemispheres to simultaneously process "past dangers" and "present safety," thereby activating the naturally blocked information processing system caused by trauma, promoting the digression and integration of traumatic memories.
It is a clinical psychological treatment method that integrates neuroscience.
From the perspective of schools of thought, it can be classified under the [Cognitive Behavior] school.
