EMDR for Post Traumatic Stress

Hi

Thanks for checking out my blog. I had to write about EMDR which I have just recently trained in. This is a fantastic tool for releasing anxiety and panick attacks and any other related stress symptoms. This tool was created by Shapiro in the 1980's for war veteran's.

This technique uses the SUDS scale (1-10) and uses various eye movements used in a repetitive way to bring down anxiety/stress levels as you follow your Hypnotherapist's finger while thinking of traumatic event. To finish off the technique the new feeling of how you want to feel is established using different eye movents, and some stress relief hypnosis is used.

Personally I loved this technique and it definitely helped me with the fear of death I developed after going through 2 deaths of close family member's within a year. Obviously the right course for me, at the right time!

This technique has also been shown to reduce phobias/fears and cravings.

I do highly recommend as it is quick and effective.

I hope you enjoyed my post.
