I love EMDR Therapy.. I am a therapist that has been using it for years. It’s unbelievable the amount of healing that I can offer. I even use it with children. People can get their life back.

I did it for a year! It really helped with some serious traumatic life experiences and it gave me the tools so worth through my ptsd. 👌 recomend if talk therapy isnt giving you the results your looking for

He is right that EMDR therapy really does work for most people, and it’s often remarkably easy and painless compared to talk therapies. If you search “How EMDR works” there are several very good, concise explanations of how and why it works. This video doesn’t really explain it at all, but it’s still encouraging and appreciated. ☮️

Explains it perfectly

I did EMDR after an SA. I always say it took my memories from 3D and reliving the experience and now it’s almost like looking at a photograph… Literally saved my life.

I have EMDR with my therapist and its amazing. Theres no turning back only a brighter future.

I’ll try to explain EMDR (Eye Movement desensitizing and Re Processing): the best way I understand it: it is a therapy process that uses REM or rapid eye movements by following the back and forth movement of the therapists finger or a light source. It is similar to REM sleep where the mind somehow taps into deeper parts of itself. Through this technique, once the mind has tapped into regressed memories that either come up on their own or are suggested by the therapist, your body begins to feel the sensation of that/those particular events. It is at this point that the therapist will begin to ask what you are feeling/seeing and you have a dialogue about this. After the pinnacle of the negative emotions haa been reached a shift happens where the therapist starts to impart a shift in perspective by implementing a way to find a positive resolution to the situation. Once that resolve has been made by the patient in the conscious and subconscious mind they have then completed the process of the desensitizing and re-processing of the traumatic event.

Hope this helps a bit❤

Beautiful description ♥️ It’s truly the closest thing to a shortcut I’ve ever encountered. EFT has similar benefits.

He literally didn’t explain what EMDR is at all

What if you're amnesic like me? I know i have a trauma/phobia but i have no idea where it came from. I can't remember any situation which caused this trauma. Only situations where i have already been suffering from it. Idk if i should call it a trauma tbh. That's my self diagnosis for now. Others see it as a plain phobia and see me as a crybaby. Even my mom does. But as if i wish to have it. I'm not gonna say anything i'm afraid of, because i grew some sort of shame towards it because my fear isn't often seen as valid or is underrestimated.

But heres what happens when i have to go through it again

I go mental. Insane. And get very aggressive towards people. I do this instinctively and have zero control over my own body and soul. I feel possessed. And the docters frightened and annoyed.

To think i'm just a regular person just like everyone else but as soon as this comes near i go mental and belong in an asylum. Or at least thats what i feel like at that point. Even thinking about my phobia sends shivers down my spine. I'm also a bit scared of going to a docter because i'm scared they will test my fear or something. I'm scared for the phobia to also get underrestimated again.

I've been living with this phobia for as long as i can remember. Or if you wanna call it a trauma, you may. I'm 21 and tired. I hoped it would be less by now because of the fact i grew up. My parents said i'd probably "grow out of it" but it only got worse.

The docters that got annoyed, shame on you. You will see me probably once or twice in your lifetime yet I'M the one that has to suffer from this thing for all my life, probably. This may be my only hope left because i tried everything else i could think of. Even under influence i could not do it. I'm the one getting exhausted from trying to control my body and mind when i simply just can't. I'm the one that's going through this. Not you. I've never met anyone in my life who has this phobia as severe as mine and i often feel very lonely because of that. You annoyed docters don't. So fu if ur not patient with your patients. I think it's in the NAME that you should be. Periodt.

If it works it works but imo that big toll might be needed when dealing with trauma, there's no easy way about it. All good things take hard work.

[TherapyMeetsMindset]

what a great explanation - therapy works most definitely.👏🏼💯👏🏼

[BigIndianBindi-jycz]

i don't feel anything with "thinking" of trauma. I only "feel" when i'm in an active experience that reminds me of the trauma. Memories don't mean anything to me. Only what is actively happening.

[XRP-fbxh]

I used to be a mental health professional as well. EMDR is the new brand of cognitive behavioural therapy. It’s being promoted as scientifically proven(or evidence based), but in reality, it’s a production line to get people back to work. People seem to report some kind of positive placebo effect. I would be curious to know who funded those EMDR studies. I wouldn’t be surprised to see disability insurance companies behind this scam. Freudian psycho analysis therapy will always be the flagship kind of psychological help. It’s slower, more painful, very expensive, but it works like clockwork.

[Melbot]

I'm starting this soon. I'm still trying to learn more about it.

[cupcakeeg]

The phrase must be affirmative as not including "not" in it?

[AB-fhrw]

He explained it perfectly! 🤍🙏it gives you a sense of hope far from your pain/trauma. It’s different when the trauma becomes a memory that you’ve processed, but no longer feel triggered from.

Hi all,

I’ve recently been introduced to EMDR and have needed to put it into practice once so far. I’m finding that I am overthinking it by. I think it has helped a little so far. How do I get over the overthinking?

I’m from Middle East I hope to find a therapist here to work it
