USER REVIEWS
"This book was designed to discuss how EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) could heal certain psychological stressors/traumas, "stuck ideas" if you will in people. Anxiety, being called stupid by your parents, horrific dating experiences, rape, abuse, car accidents, bad associations (you think your neighbor is the boogeyman) are all examples of problems therapists are faced with and use this wonderful technique to help their clients.
I am a licensed psychologist who had to undergo EMDR for a bad car accident and within 2 sessions I was able to drive without crying. In trianing, they make you as a therapist undergo what it feels like and I have to tell you I love it. When I am faced with an issue, I insist on having this and it moves you quickly through your problems. Instead of talking endlessly -you go from thought, to thought, from feeling to feeling from memory to memory and at the end, your body tension is gone. You have a renewed perspective, healthier, relaxed, confident and ready to face the world.
The book discusses cases in which the authors faced and how it healed. Excellent case examples and research are cited. A very usable book by both clinicians and clients. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and if you need help, please consider this with a therapist you trust."

"The book was in excellent condition. (I bought a used copy.) It came promptly and in very good condition. I am enjoying reading about this relatively new approach to dealing with psychological deficits of long-standing. The vendor of this book renders excellent service."

"I'm only a quarter of the way through this book, but if the therapy holds all the promise portrayed in the stories this author tells, it could be a major breakthrough. For the book, it's an easy read, without a lot of technical detail, and does a great job of describing the therapy and the thought and research behind it in a light and readable style."

"Excellent introduction and clear and competent explanations of theories, practices, cases, and scripts of EMDR. Marvelous science and even miraculous recoveries of serious varied cases. Greatly appreciated gift of Shapiro and other practicing psychotherapists. EMDR will become a household word. Highly recommended!"
