The EMDR Revolution: Change Your Life One Memory At A Time

by Tal Croitoru

Have you been experiencing negative feelings for a significant amount of time, or are you experiencing negative feelings as the result of a crisis or traumatic event that don’t seem to pass on their own?

Do you feel that you have internal obstacles that prevent or inhibit you from advancing and breaking through, even though in theory you know what needs to be done?

Have you noticed that you exhibit patterns of behavior that hinder you in your personal or professional life that awareness alone does not prevent you from repeating?

Do you have unpleasant feelings, fears, or concerns that prevent you from speaking before an audience, cause you to feel uncomfortable being the center of attention, and block you from advancement in your personal or professional life?

The good news is that this condition is reversible.

Even better news? Through a novel form of psychotherapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the rate of change is faster than ever thought possible.

For example, did you

• EMDR is a psychotherapeutic treatment that yields meaningful results within weeks in cases where other methods take months or years to go into effect? Many studies confirm the effectiveness and success of the method within just a few therapy sessions

• Millions of people have already successfully been treated by this method

Inside The EMDR Revolution you will discover the important information you need when feeling distressed or inhibited, as a way to select the appropriate help.

Reading the personal stories contained within will teach you a lot about yourself—what affects you, what motivates you, and what limits you. You deserve a better life. EMDR can help you heal your life, one memory at a time, and live the life you were meant to live.

Why EMDR?

-There are only three evidence-based therapies for prolonged-exposure therapy (PE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). EMDR was found to help in fewer sessions and does not require homework between sessions, making it the fastest evidence-based therapy there is. It is the classic treatment for veterans and those suffering the effects of traumatic events such as hurricanes and other forms of devastation.

-EMDR is a great supplement for personal-development. After recognizing your limiting beliefs, with EMDR you can reprocess them so you don’t need to keep fighting them, and you can free all your energy towards the future.

-We are mistakenly told that there is nothing we can do to change the past, so we need to ignore it and concentrate on the present. But this is not true. The past “hunts” us via our memories. With EMDR we can change the way our past is stored in our brain—and thus the way we are influenced by it—allowing us to change our life one memory at a time.

This book is a great overview of EMDR from the patient's perspective. It is evidence-based and I am surprised not many people are familiar with it. It DOES work. It did help me. Explains why just talk therapy does not work and is just a waste of precious time and money. I highly recommend, even if you do not feel you have PTSD. It helps to overcome those visceral feelings that you cannot talk yourself out of. Very thankful for the amazing advancements in the field of neuroscience that took place in the past 20 years.

This book was a good introduction and explanation of EMDR, and the benefits of going through this rather difficult form of therapy. The only reason I couldn’t rate this book higher was because the majority of the book is other people’s experiences/ examples of their EMDR therapy, and how it helped them. After a while it just felt like the book was trying to sell EMDR to the reader. For example, the book would talk about a person who has a fear of flying, went through EMDR, and now doesn’t have a fear of flying. Then, it would jump straight into another example of a person who had stage fright? Went through EMDR, and no longer has stage fright. This continued for the majority of the book, and bagan to feel repetitive and mundane.

Short book, highlights the positives of the therapy and provides summaries of those who have benefited.

This book is written in an easy to read and easy to understand format. The writer describes her success in using EMDR to treat clients with trauma and other issues.
I am a certified EMDR Therapist. I was trained and certified before I read the book. The author sent me a free copy. I do not personally know the author nor do I have any business relationship with her.
I was impressed with the book and bought a number of copies for my clients who were planning to have EMDR therapy.
If you are interested in EMDR therapy reading this book will be helpful. The was written to promote EMDR therapy so you can expect that.
I have found that EMDR therapy does promote rapid change compared to more traditional therapies.

Excellent readable introduction into EMDR therapy and it effectiveness. Very helpful for someone considering EMDR therapy, or for therapists considering adding EMDR to their practice. Case studies and examples were more than I needed but for others it likely will provide helpful specifics.
