Had my first emdr session today. Praying for the help I so need. So excited for this new journey of my healing.
Yay! Thanks for sharing and feel free to let us know how it goes! :)
@@VivPhD guess it did not go well. Lol
Hey friend, how did it go?
I had my first EMDR session last week, and I was so surprised how light I felt at the end of the session. I'm trying not to place any expectations on the process yet I can't help but catch myself feeling excited and empowered that hopefully in 7 sessions, I will be more grounded, stable, feel safe and secure again.
The testimonials for EMDR sound so incredible that it seems too good to be true. My first session is in less than one week. I pray this is finally the treatment that helps me feel normal again
How did it go?
How did it go?
How did it go?
I hope it worked for you 💛💛💛 my first session is next week 😭 I just want to be able to enjoy life again wish me luck guys
me too, this Friday, i'll let you guys know if you reply then
I will be starting emdr soon. I’ve been traumatized for 2 years after the death of my dad and dating an abusive person. For a year I didn’t really leave my house, had no desire to be around people, I skipped the holidays. Was an emotional mess. I also couldn’t work. I moved back home. I’m slightly better but I feel emdr is much needed. I want my life back and I don’t wanna live in fear anymore and have lots of panic attacks
How were your EMDR sessions? Would love to know. I’m starting mine in two weeks after a covert narcissist abuse relationship.
@@jcr-studios How about yours? I start in 2 days, unable to move on from a 23 year abusive narcissistic marriage which ended 5 years ago.
@@mkoontz30 hey how was it for you friend? 🙏🏾💙👑
Hey how was it for you friend 🙏🏾💙👑
That's the relationship abuse, not the death of your father. Domestic abusers commonly leave their abuse-targets with PTSD. In fact, it's precisely why they abuse people so they can destroy your life and tear you down to nothing. They know they're going to do this to you the moment they first walk up to you. Seriously.
thank you for making this! I am also an EMDR therapist and it's great to be able to share a video that articulates it so well. Nice work!
Thanks so much Valerie :) You know the power of EMDR and anything I can do to spread the word and help more people get access to this incredible therapy with whomever qualified provider is my pleasure.
Thank you so much for this. I am about to finalize my qualification as an EMDR Consultant in the UK and I can confirm that this therapy can help people make huge steps forward. If I had a penny for every time someone says "this is so weird" in a therapy session, I would be very rich! When this therapy works for you, it can seem, as Viv says, miraculous.
Please make sure you see a qualified, professional therapist if you wish to experience EMDR
Can people continue to work, socialise, drink and so on during the course of the treatment?
@@trishlasingh471 I did. That said it may all depend on the individual and their circumstances. I don't drink and wasn't working at the time. I was however in the middle of a very difficult time in my life. Speak to a qualified EMDR practioner and/or your doctor. In England, the National Health Service provides EMDR sessions (with a long waiting list and possibly restricted referral time though - I paid privately). I would highly recommend EMDR. See my post of today 14 Sept 2020 for my brief testimony
@@lovesong252 thanks! I already started it. Paying for it privately. Apparently according to NHS I don't qualify for EMDR. It makes no sense!! I have serious trauma and such. I spoke to my therapist and have continued to drink on social occasions, work and socialising. And it hasn't impacted therapy or my healing process. Thank you for your reply!
Ok
@@trishlasingh471 it's better to avoid alcohol...
Thank you for the testimonies - very moving. EMDR really helped me. Looking back over the approximate 5 years since I had EMDR, my life has been richer, happier, more connected, more creative and so on... I guess I've felt more alive. Can't put it all down to the EMDR of course. I've also noticed that I feel much more love and forgiveness for my sister, brother, mum and dad as well as others including myself, having done EMDR on difficult events in my family and wider life. I would recommend EMDR wholeheartedly.
PS I've also found that a low carb lifestyle has also helped me. A low carb not a no-carb lifestyle.
Thanks Daniel for your comments. I had the same experience as well :) - and that's for the low carb tip. It certainly helps some people with energy and clearer thinking. :)
@DanielO'Byrne have you noticed any bodily changes at all that are worth noting!?
@@lovesong252 same experience in my life. I basically could of written your post. Thanks for sharing.
I love emdr I'm so happy I'm doing it Emdr is a life saver for me
GREAT! Thanks for sharing :)
Emdr is the best therpy I ever did I couldn’t contect any one because of my traumatic past emdr therpy help me get those emotions out and I’m able to connect with friends now I’m so happy I did emdr I highly recommend it
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I hear this is a lot from my clients and it's great for other people who are looking for help to hear it too!
@Old Man hendo This is my experience, my post "Thank you for the testimonies - very moving. EMDR really helped me.

Thank you for writing this... I've been unable to connect to myself and others so much I'm just iscolating from life itself. I'm incapable of holding a job right now and even feeling safe enough to feed myself even, I feel so undeserving of these things...I'm grateful that you wrote this. I've been so scared I'm going to lose people that I really love because I'm too terrified about connecting
Thank you for making this video. I'm starting EMDR and I'm really nervous because of how complex my trauma is. These stories give me hope
Really interested in what happened for you!
I wish that if you’re hesitant, you take your time to go at your pace, I was scare to start my first session.
I was left with peace and hope to finish my sessions around other triggers, but my symptoms have become small now and livable for the moment where I feel powerful and happy and hopeful to tackle my other symptoms along with my stories, and leave them all behind.
I have done three sessions, and I sometimes don’t even recognize myself with how wonderful my experience has been getting through the storm. I still have some triggers that I need to work with, it doesn’t leave me crippled with fear and anxiety like it used to, I feel strong and powerful knowing that I’m gonna tackle the rest with gentleness and love and compassion.
Fantastic Eder! This is in fact very typical and I'm so glad you've been able to benefit from this miraculous therapy. Thanks so much for sharing your story :) Wishing you all the best in your continued recovery and growth.
How do you feel today?
Julian Bashir - Hey Julian, I’m feeling raw with grief and anger right now, but it’s really over, the trauma I suffered around someone’s death is subsiding.
A lot of things that were getting in the way of living my life are disappearing, and begin to feel fulfilled, more authentic myself, but that because I’m facing my reality and the nature of many raw emotions, that happened to me, and the things I witnessed.
It’s temporary what you feel, but it leaves a different aspect on life and you begin to see life differently because the brain begins to process all of that information in a different manner.
Put it this way, your brain is suffering from a lot of misfiled and misplaced information that it begins to spin and suffer, and EMDR is like a personal accountant that is gentle and helps you and encourages you to be who YOU are, the brain is constipated with information and it helps the brain to release the information in safe and secure files.
Eder Maldonado How can you be sure if the EMDR really caused that change?
Julian Bashir good question, EMDR prepare the client’s mind (me) to go back to the trauma. Then the bilateral movement brings to focus on the trauma, reliving the trauma, collects all of the memories that splinter off in the mind, collects them, process them, then sends the emotions and experiences where it belongs.
I was sexually assaulted, and I also had to relive the experience and story it as a memory. During the EMDR experience I felt two hands let go of my legs and I cried like I’ve never cried before, it felt liberating and it was scary to let that go, and the mind to let that go, that it was never my fault, and can live more authentically.
EMDR is a process that takes the mind to that place, and process and store to keep there forever as a story, experience and that’s it, at least for me that is.
I'm about to start this therapy. Watching this video gives me a lot of hope. and I'm kind of excited to start it.
thank you!
So happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing. If you're interested in self processing between sessions you can also check out the self-emdr course at selfemdr.org. I have a video on that and there will be an online version of the course soon. :)
Did it help in the end? I am thinking about it - and I think that it would really help me as well?
Excellent description of EMDR.
Thanks Marty. The video was a labour of love.
Finally, Some hope to help me. Thank you for this video. I was so frustrated for years trying to explain to my Doctor, the way I've been suffering inside for years. EMDR treatment WAS SUGGESTED by a CMHA worker who listened to me and connected me to a Specialist.This video helps when you can relate to so much similar issues. Great Job👏🏼❤️
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm so happy it's been helpful. :)
Thanks, Viv. This is a useful video to use with my EMDR client. The personal stories have the potential to reach a variety of people.
i cant stand it when people say, oh no youre good enough... but they still dont get it, its not conscious, its unconscious, i think those people lack awareness in themselves. if they had some sort of awareness they would understand if they do their own deep internal work
I go for my first session next week and this video helped give me some hope. My current therapist said I'm at about a level 2 of 5 in the healing process for the trauma I experienced, but it's at a point where it's so much bigger than me, affecting every single aspect of my life and relationships, that I'm stuck. I'm stuck in grieving and loss and abandonment. This video gave me hope that I can keep healing, that I don't have to be anguished the rest of my days. I will come back and let you know how I am doing after a few sessions.
How did it go
Thanks for sharing. How did it go?
Thanks so much for making this video! My counselor wants to use this with my husband and I and this helped so much to help us better understand what she's talking about.
My pleasure. Please subscribe if you like it as it's important for my channel. I'll try to publish more soon :) Best of luck with your therapy!!!
I would love to feel unstuck too, I'm going for EMDR this time. Hope there's something that will save my miserable excuse for a life.
Stay encouraged and hopeful🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this! So helpful to see other's story.
Thank you Angela for your kind comment. If you check out my channel you can also view my personal story and the story of a few others.
Wow @2:30 sounds just like me. 😭 These stories are so relatable :(
Thanks for sharing. I know... They make get teary-eyed too everytime I watch it. I'm also so proud of how far these women have come and it's because of their hard work and courage that they found freedom.
2:23 or so around there...people pleaser etc, no self care, that’s me... currently doing EMDR...
@TammiWood, have you noticed more self care and less people pleasing now!?
My therapist recommended EMDR which makes me think that there’s something deeper down that triggered this new anxiety that I’ve never had before. Before this all happened I was so happy. But now I can’t stop feeling nauseous and high heart rate. I don’t know what the root of the problem is. I hope
I find the root cause, im afraid that will take some time to find. Needing some hope.
Hi Joe, are you saying that these new feelings and sensations were triggered after the EMDR?
Hello! How are you feeling now?
I’d love to hear it’s benefits in complex PTSD.
With time, working with the right therapist, complex PTSD can be resolved, and the brain changes normalized so that you no longer have pathological triggers.
Would love to know where to start in Katy Tx ♥️
Has anyone used this for sexual abuse/sexual trauma!? And are you able to feel differently about sex and enjoy it now without thinking it bad? (This might be a very intimate question but it's really relevant for me)
Hi Morgan. I'm 50 years old when I was 7 I was raped by an older boy. I lived with this trauma for years sex just never felt good or was something I could enjoy it was just to idk yucky feeling. After my first EMDR session it has given me a new life. I've been married for 14 years and have pretend to love making love to my wife Although she kinda knows because I can't fake a male orgasam fully. I've finally made love to her it was good it's gotten better I can finally be a man all because of EMDR. I know men are different emotionally but I hope this helps you. I bet it can work
@@therodfather76 I am so grateful you shared, and so touched as well even. And super thankful that you did as well! I've been so worried and concerned that this just will not work for me at all. For many reasons. I have been experiencing a lot of really tough things lately inside and it's just hard. I am so concerned that I just will not be able to get better and sometimes I really don't want to try believing it won't. I have been experiencing so much distress lately it's been a mess to me and loads of hypervigilance so bad I sweat under many occasions. I wonder if you would be willing to answer this, did you feel shame over these experiences!? And do you feel it greatly helped with this as well!? Thank you again for your vulnerability
@@therodfather76 I struggle greatly with feeling or believing I'm loved or that people will attend to my needs without trying hard receive this from them
Yes, this is a common use of EMDR with clients, and absolutely it changes the way you feel about sex, and about yourself. It helps heal past traumas and also helps people to come to understand themselves in a kinder, more healthy way.
I’ve used it for sexual abuse traumas. Still in the process of healing these wounds, but my perspective on sex is slowly changing. :)
This video gave me such peace... The blonde woman with the glasses said my accident was that bad. I feel exactly like that. Thank you Viv! I have my first appointment next wednesday here in nevada. Viv do you do online sessions? and how much?
Thank you Suzanne. Yes I do and replied to your other comment. Warm regards, Viv
i would never wanna be like any of my family too, thats why you gotta do the inner work lol
Why do I find no success stories without long testimonies of the same old symptoms as the main message? Just have a bunch of people telling the World they were cured and how it felt as they healed. No need to drone on.
Do you need a memory or can it be a memory or experience from a month ago that Isn’t the root issue
Can I benefit from EMDR if I have no memory from my trauma?
This video is making me want to try it... I really want the same results
Hey Luvv Lighthouse. I hear you. It's impossible to guarantee results but what I can say is that EMDR is really a very powerful tool to get change, and it can't hurt to consult an EMDR therapist with your specific situation to see if you can achieve your freedom goals.
@drviv, I'm beginning my first processing session this week with EMDR. I'm a bit worried at this time I noticed my therapist isn't on the list of Certified Practitioners. And, I don't feel like she sees me or heard me when I talk to her at all...I often feel really dismissed if I say my symptoms are concerning and that I feel highly suicidal. Also too, I don't have loving supports around me as well to help me go through this either and feel supported doing so. Do you have any thoughts you could share. I want to experience help and relief but the brain dysregulation I feel all of the time makes me paralyzed to live life right now and speak on my behalf
I wish you all the best and may the universe hold you tight with love and kindness. I feel you and hopefully with time you will be healed sister
Hi Morgan Alexis, I hope that you switched to a therapist that makes you feel heard and understood so you can trust them to effectively help you overcome the hurdles you are facing. It's very important to trust the competence of your therapist as well as feel seen and heard. Keep trying until you find one like that.
Dear Morgan, I'm sorry I missed your comment earlier. I hope you swithched therapists. EMDR works and it's wonderful but the MOST important factor is a loving therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, respected, and understood.
Can EMDR help with codependency that's a result of child abuse?
Wow! I need this.
Yes. It is common to experience co-dependency issues after suffering childhood abuse. In my experience, EMDR has been very effective at treating both the psychological trauma resulting from childhood abuse and the subsequent issues that arise as a result.
@@DoubleRainbows-fp6ih You can find a list of local EMDR therapists through EMDRIA and EMDR Canada websites, or visit my website www.emdrviv.com if you are interested in online EMDR therapy. Best of luck! :)

Great testimonies. Can you provide EMDR via online?
Thank you! Yes I provide EMDR therapy online :)
@@VivPhD can you please help me with emdr therapy online through skype i was abused when i was a little kid 5 by my brothers friend and been bullied in school and im gay n starting university soon loads of anxiety here ??

I am a trauma survivor- so much of it that talk therapy is just not working.
As I'M off work- literally too scared to go outdoors- money is an issue.
Could you email me details please?

@@VivPhD Is it not a bit risky doing emdr online because of technology being sometimes unreliable? For example if there internet goes down unexpectedly or something like that when right in the middle of some reprocessing
@@elvismorina8686 Hi Elvis, sorry I didn't see your comment until now, and I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I understand and yes I can provide online emdr therapy, schedule permitting, and have dealt with similar cases. I think it's best if you schedule a free consultation via my website www.emdrviv.com to discuss more as I can answer all your questions in private.
Where could I find a qualified therapist in my area? Petersburg Virginia 23805
Hi Phelanisse, you can check the EMDRIA website which should have a list of qualified therapists in your area. Alternatively, you can look for online EMDR therapists through Google, such as myself. Just be sure they have completed an EMDRIA-approved training. I'll be publishing an article and video soon on how to select the best EMDR therapist so please subscribe to my youtube channel and newsletter www.emdrviv.com to stay informed of when it's published! Best of luck and let us know how it goes! :)
You can find EMDR trained therapists here: www.ironbridgecounseling.com
I luv this wow i am going to try this.
Same here. My counselor (psychotherapist) and I talked about this today and will begin EMDR with my next session. Nothing has helped so far but I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful. I hope it works for you also. : )
Great! Thanks for the feedback!

Can this be done online?
Absolutely! I specialize in online EMDR therapy. You can learn more on my website www.emdrviv.com
Like always it probably works for some people, but not all, works for a little while until it does not work again, should be all over the internet if there actually was a good solution.
You really believe that? Curing people isn't exactly promoted in capitalistic societies.

Even if it were to work only for a small % of people let's say, providing some level of relief, is that not reason enough to explore?
