Self-Guided EMDR Therapy & Workbook: Healing from Anxiety, Anger, Stress, Depression, PTSD & Emotional Trauma Paperback – May 22, 2018

Very interesting concept. You need a trained emdr doctor or you can get stuck in your past with no help for your future.

This is a step by step guide to what an EMDR Therapy session looks like. It is helpful because it relieves the stress of the unknown which comforts the person receiving the therapy. It also equips the person with tools they can use to process emotions they are struggling to process, and establish coping techniques to help as they are triggered. Highly recommend for anyone seeking to improve coping skills or just wants to understand what EMDR therapy is and how it might help them with their struggles. Talk therapy has only helped me so much.. EMDR actually has taken mt therapy to the next level and is helping to reduce the number of things that trigger me.

The instructions contained are clear and concise. I have not yet employed the technique, therefore at this point 4 stars until I can assess try and assess.

The book provides essential background information in the first section with a clear format and supportive tone. The rest of the book follows a nice, open log format. I found a Mac App Store app that complements the book well. It's comprehensive and sufficient for anyone curious about the topic. One can always do more reading, this book covers everything needed. Overall, a great book.

This is an "ok" book, but when it comes to writing your exercises, it's not real clear on what they expect you to write. Some prompts at each section would be more helpful. I had to go back in the chapter to remind myself what the terms meant. Otherwise ok.

This book is a great starting point to understand EMDR.. IF USED WITH THE RESOURCES PROVIDED WITH IN IT WILL ASSIST YOU WITH GETTING ON TRACK WITH THE BENIFITS OF EMDR EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A THERAPIST. AND WITH A THERAPIST YOU WILL BENIFIT EVEN MORE. ONE WORD I DO BELIEVE PRAYER WORKS BUT YOU MUST COMPLIMENT PRAYER WITH TOOLS THAT CAN HELP YOUR MIND TO RID ITSELF OF UNPRODUCTIVE THOUGHTS , EMOTIONS, UNRESOLVED CONFLICTS SO THAT YOU CAN ALLOW HEALING TO BEGIN TO HAPPEN AND CLEAR YOUR MIND TO ALLOW RESTORATION.. I HOPE THIS REVIEW CAUSE SOMEONE TO TRY THIS TOOL....

I didn’t want to read the huge text book & was looking for something digestible & helpful. I think this gave me all the information I needed to get started with EMDR & even included links to great YouTube videos. If you have the time and energy (and money) for the textbook, I’m sure it’s best, but this is a really great summary. I think of the blank journal pages as a bonus. I rarely write reviews but I think the negative reviews here are unfair & wanted to share my experience.

This book isn't as informative as I thought it was going to be. It is mainly a workbook. Greatly disappointed
