    In which phase of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) does the client visualize the trauma along with a positive thought and then scan their body mentally to identify any tension within?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Desensitization focuses on processing and reducing the emotional distress associated with traumatic memories, not on body scanning. Choice B reason: Installation involves strengthening positive beliefs about the self while recalling the traumatic memory, but it does not include scanning the body for tension. Choice C reason: This is correct. The body scan phase instructs the client to visualize the traumatic memory and a positive belief while identifying areas of residual tension or discomfort, integrating physical and emotional processing. Choice D reason: Closure is the phase in which the client returns to a calm state at the end of the session, not performing body scans.
