DIY EMDR video

I've been using this twice a day for a bit over a week and find it relaxing. In fact a few times it put me straight to sleep.

Usually people seem to need to note that for some situations it's best to do with EMDR with a therapist- no doubt that's true. Free resources that you can use when you need to are also a good thing.

 

Forest,
Thanks for pointing out the link- I think it's an extremely interesting idea and experimented with it a bit yesterday. I'd like to keep trying before I make a judgement but I'm hopeful about it.

 

Thanks for posting this Luke! I just wanted to say that you've given further evidence to my believe that there is no such thing as coincidence! I haven't been on the forum much lately in an effort to make sure that it's not just becoming my newest distraction/obsession. I was not in a good place in my head today, and of course my TMS symptoms followed suit so I decided to pay the forum a visit. EMDR is the type of therapy I've been thinking about trying once I secure a new job. I loved Francine Shapiro's book and I've done quite a bit of the leg work already trying to identify some of my unprocessed memories. I'm a do it yourself-er at heart so I was doing the leg work thinking the progress would go much quicker (and cheaper) if I already had some memories identified. I never thought to look online for a video aide with the actual rapid eye movement portion of the treatment. This was just what I needed today, just the positive messages and soothing sounds alone left me much more calm and relaxed! Thanks again!!
