Six and half years ago my mother was violently murdered by my brother. I experienced a complete shattering, both internally and externally. When the initial events settled down and I returned home to my regular life, I fell into a deep depression and struggled for months to even get out of bed. Finally someone recommended EMDR to me and I decided to try it out. On a scale of upset I went from a 10 to a 0 in three months and it absolutely lasted. It was nothing short of miraculous. This is not to say that I didn’t continue to grieve and suffer for years to come because I did. I obviously still missed her, but the trauma, the horror, the acute shock, the debilitating depression were gone. Now they are having tremendous success with veterans.

I have just completed the first leg of this training and I am reminded of the miraculous effects this work has to heal difficult events in a short amount of time. It didn’t even matter that it was online. I worked on a small thing in the training which cleared up in 30 minutes and last night I found myself dancing around the house in pure joy.

I am here to tell you that if you are carrying around unresolved trauma, there is no need to allow this to affect you any longer. EMDR is not a fad or hack, it absolutely works and the effects are lasting. I am living proof and NOW, I am thrilled to have the tools to help others heal in this way.
