Hypnotherapy vs EMDR

In this video I will share the similarities and differences between EMDR Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy. I explain why these powerful therapies are most indicated for trauma and addiction.Both have particular strengths and can do what the other can't, yet they can also be merged and integrated. This can be a guide to clarify which psychotherapy is best suited for your particular healing needs..

I found your comments on how trauma is stored in the brain to be very interesting. We can engage cognition and the frontal lobe all we want but it won’t address the root of the trauma because it operates in a different part of the brain. You mentioned the limbic system. Where exactly is traumatic memory stored in the brain? Is it stored in the amygdala or in another part of the limbic system? I have been dealing with a trauma based compulsive sexual behavior and I don’t have a clear memory of the trauma that caused it. I wanted to get a better understanding of the neurology of it.

my husband has an anger problem. It took 12 emdr sessions 3 years ago to him and it seemed worked. The problem was coming from his childhood that his father constantly criticized him and he could not react to it. At least in these 3 years, physical violence decreased, he controlled his anger better than before. however, he has been experiencing anger problems for the last 2 months again. maybe my pregnancy (we both wanted) or quarantine may have affected him. Do you think he should try hypnotheraphy this time?

Thank you! Some doctors recommend me EMDR therapy and some of them recommend me hypnosis, I'm looking what is the better for my by my own. I had a traumatic childhood and I want to get better :( I'm 22 years old. Excuse my bad English

Hypnosis is a shamanic (used by witch doctors) technique and EMDR also reeks of the occult. I'd much rather stick with deliverance prayer, which has brought me lasting relief from depression and gluttony.

But my disorder is not related to memories, it is related in beliefs and convictions.

Hi, I am a 45 year old female that has been in therapy working on Childhood sexual abuse. However, I do not remember anything. I am at the point that I really want to remember. I am in Denver, CO. Can you refer someone to me? Or, where are you located? Maybe you can see me? Thanks
