i love emdr, i tried it at home, on some really deep stuff and it really works. maybe i still have more to work on but i know something shifted for sure...
Hi. This is wonderful to know. So glad it worked so well for you. Did you use a course to guide you through the process as in the actual eye movements? I desperately need something to help me overcome my limiting belief that my mother doesn't love me so I can move forward with my life. I'd like to hope this could be the right solution for me!
I am in UK a veterans PTSD a but thing for me , EMDR does help talk about trauma in a more detached way , ive had all sorts of therapy but it really does help
Perfect nutshell. My EMDR in 1989 was super efficient with Dr. Ron Martinez who Dr. Francine Shapiro mentions at the beginning of her EMDR book. Dr. Martinez was a quadrapalegic but he knew how to rock the pencil eraser just right.
Thank you. How wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
Love how your explanation is so simple and comprehensible. Thank you
You're very welcome! Thanks for your lovely comment :)
You are an amazing teacher:) Thank you so much, I have lots of things to reprocess and I am trying EMDR I hope I can feel better and happier. A Kiss from Portugal!
How has it been friend? Hope you are ok 🙏🏾💙👑
You have made this so concise for me! I am a freshman in college and I plan on getting my masters in either MFT, adolescent therapy, or psych ward therapy (I can't think of the technical term) but this made it so easy to understand. Thank you for being a part of my journey!
Awww thanks Matt. That's really nice to hear :) Be well.
How is it not better explained that it works by route of letting your brain experience a novel experience, thereby making new modes of action easier when feeling similar feelings to when you were traumatized, thereby providing you with more moves on the chessboard than you had previously, thereby reducing your stress load, thereby being able to behave more effectively when in a similarly-feeling situation? I think it can. Learning happens all the time, but when you free up your brain to keep your body properly functioning, you can think more clearly and learn more efficiently, and make future changes based on how you have changed your feelings, thus changed your emotions, thus changed your thoughts, or vice versa on those last two. There is no need for fight-flight-freeze-fawn as "The automatic behaviours" when these are more accurately described as options based on previous learning and incomplete information, so these are your brain's go to's. FFF-F is not a given; it's annoying how people are stuck with pop sci of 40 years ago and treating it as if it explains human behaviour.
Interesting topic but she explained what traumatic memories are and what you do when you do EMDR but she didn't actually explain how the bilateral movements etc change the memories. Is it because the movements occupy working memory and allow the brain to process the memories or some other way?
Hey Lee, great question! It's actually a very long and complicated answer. There's a book chapter on it in the book, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: Basic principles, protocols, and procedures, second edition, by Francine Shapiro, or you could listen to one of my podcast episodes - the one with Dr. Marco Pagani at www.coffeewithscientists.com. Hope that helps! :)
EXCELLENT VIDEO

Well explained xd
Hi Viv, thank you for your video. I had 3 chocking accidents while drinking red wine over a period of 7 years. I am still scared to drink and eat and drink in front of people since this started and so going out for dinner parties is always a very stressful event. Could EMDR help with this? I really hope so because it's been years that I have been living with this nightmare that makes my life miserable .....
Hi Cristina, the short answer is yes it could help. However, I have treated 2 clients with similar stories and in both cases there was significant trauma and other factors involved making their treatment highly complex and longer term. That doesn't necessarily mean that's your case. You can find EMDR therapists at EMDRIA or EMDR CANADA.
All the best,
Viv
your course comes up on udemy in chinese messed up u need to fix thx
though what about the studies that show imaginal exposure + eye movements vs only imaginal exposure yielded the same results. that eye movements didn't really help much, even though it's not harmful.
I am not aware of such a study. I am aware of studies that compared the two and found that the eye movements were in fact essential for the efficacy of the treatment. Francine Shapiro's second edition on EMDR's basic principles has a nice chapter reviewing the research and I believe emdr.com tries to post the most current research. I also believe Dr. Marco Pagani talked about this in his interview at www.coffeewithscientists.com
Thank you for this very helpful distinction. I wonder if you are bi-polar ? I thought I detected some "forced speech" symptoms that I have experienced myself. Again thank you
There are NO blood tests or urine tests to definitely diagnose ANY psychiatric disease. It's all a ploy to sell drugs and make the pharmaceutical companies profitable.
