I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

We all experience trauma and anxiety on some level, usually when we least expect it. How to deal with them should be something we should have been taught in school growing up. But since that was not a priority then, we must face our challenges today. Use this book. It will help.

As someone who is generally skeptical in new ways to look at treating PTSD as someone who has it, this book and the therapy it describes as made a great difference in my life. I was able to go through this therapy at a retreat for veterans (Operation Red Wings Foundation) and it actually helped to reduce the symptoms relating to my PTSD. This book finally gives me a greater understanding of the therapy from a clinician (and lay person as well) level. I foresee that this book will go a long way to help people understand this therapy as well as how to implement it.

One of the most compelling aspects of this book is its emphasis on mastering EMDR techniques at your own pace. The personalized approach allows you to tailor the healing process to your specific needs, whether you’re dealing with recent trauma or deep-seated issues from the past. This aspect of the book was particularly reassuring to me, as it acknowledged that healing is not a race, but a journey.

This book helped me understand what EMDR is and how it can help me deal with past trauma. It explains things in simple terms, including enough of the science behind EMDR for it to make sense, but without getting too bogged down in technical terms. A manageable amount of information.

EDMR is so helpful for people with trauma and past problems. I have found this book to be very insightful and although I still think you get the most benefit from EDMR by seeing someone who is professionally trained in it. This workbook can be a great supplement.

I tried EMDR once and it has been very beneficial. But I wanted to know more about it, since there are not that many resources online.
This workbook contains all the information you need, from the pros and cons, to the scientific background and best step-by-step practices. I recommend it especially if you are a beginner like me.
L. M. Harvey (verified owner) –

EMDR is such a powerful healing modality that this workbook breaks down effectively through a combination of theory and practical steps to utilize the techniques. Recommended as a supplement to use in conjunction with a trained practitioner and/or additional resources. Fantastic tool to add to one’s toolbox of recovery practice.
Frank Healy, HSAM (verified owner) –
This book covers all aspects of preparing to give and receive EMDR, How to handle it, and what to do in the aftermath. I expected some basic techniques, but it says that doing it at home could be harmful without a trained professional. However, I have read three or four books on the topic and this is the best most detailed introduction to EMDR.
Infinite Creations Inc. (verified owner) –
After all the abuse and trauma I went through in life, I thought there was nothing that would work for me after trying NLP, talk therapy, taking meds, etc., but now this book has come into my life, and I finally have hope. I love the summaries at the end of each chapter, which helped cement what I learned. I found the desensitization and installation phases to be most helpful for me, but every part is really important so I would pay close attention to each of the steps (which are easy to follow).
JamJamOliver24 (verified owner) –
This guide was easy to understand. Each section explains what is covered but finishes with a helpful summary box to review—recommended for those who suffer from stress, anxiety, and other PTSD symptoms.

an invaluable resource for those dealing with traumatic memories and anxiety. Its practical, step-by-step approach offers effective tools for a personalized healing journey, empowering readers with coping strategies for both immediate and long-term relief.
Peach1990 (verified owner) –
The personalized pace of the therapy is a standout feature in this book making it suitable for a wide range of individuals. It not only provides coping strategies but also outlines a clear path to long-term relief. If you’re looking to conquer your past and own your future, this book is a valuable resource. While I acknowledge the effectiveness of EMDR therapy, I still believe that professional training adds significant value. This workbook, however, serves as an insightful supplement. It covers all aspects of preparing for and engaging in EMDR, offering comprehensive guidance. It emphasizes the importance of professional training but still stands out as the best and most detailed introduction to EMDR that I’ve come across in several books on the topic.

The EMDR techniques are super effective and quick to act, making it easier to start the healing journey.

Would recommend to people who have trauma but also to people who are unaware of their past traumas.

Blondediva88 (verified owner) –
This book is an excellent introduction to EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. It can appeal to a wide range of individuals, detailing how to prepare for, undergo, and follow up on EMDR sessions. While it does admit that a trained professional will result in the best outcome, it provides helpful techniques for those who want to start exploring EMDR on their own. I definitely agree with seeing a professional, but this book is a great intro if you are curious about the technique before you find a therapist who specializes in it. It’s a comprehensive guide that is particularly beneficial for people looking to process and heal from trauma – it gives in-depth information along with easy to implement strategies.
C. R. (verified owner) –
This book was a fantastic introduction to EMDR for me. With the new year just starting, one of my personal resolutions is to get serious about healing some of my past traumas so I can move forward. I had heard of EMDR therapy before but didn’t really understand it until I picked up this book. It gives a thorough explanation of what this type of therapy does and how to use it, while also cautioning the reader on how to use it safely. I’d recommend this book to anyone curious about this method or anyone who is looking for an effective way to work through trauma.
Moody Van (verified owner) –
People who suffer from PTSD, trauma, and anxiety live in a world that many of us don’t understand. I can honestly say I’d never heard of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy before I ran across this book.
Researchers believe EMDR can effectively treat the conditions mentioned earlier. In reading the book, I found it straightforward in discussing the pros and cons of the therapy. The author includes activities at the end of each chapter that help readers harness EMDR and improve their lives.
If you’re suffering from PTSD, trauma, and anxiety, please check out this title and see if it can benefit you.

Great piece of work.
Pete (verified owner) –
This book is like a guide that shows you step by step how to feel better if you’ve been through something really tough, like a bad scare or feeling really, really worried all the time. It’s kind of like having a friend who knows a lot about making scary thoughts less scary, telling you exactly what to do to make yourself feel okay again.
What’s really cool about this book is that it doesn’t just tell everyone to do the same thing. Instead, it helps you find out what works best for you. It’s like if you and your friend both had splinters, but in different fingers; the book would show each of you the best way to get them out based on where they are. It has stories about people going through tough times, exercises that make you feel grounded (which means feeling steady and calm), and even extra stuff like meditation to help you feel peaceful on your own, at your own speed.
