The Art of Self-EMDR for Trauma Recovery: Clear, Creative Strategies to Calm Anxiety, Regulate Emotion, Connect with Loved Ones, and Build Joy & Empow -- Deborah L. Cox, Paperback
Trauma affects us all...
It shapes our behaviors, our perceptions, and our interactions. Addressing it, we make the world a kinder and more connected place.
Whether you're a therapist or someone searching for new inroads to emotional healing, your goal is to process trauma.
In fact, to be most effective, you need to engage the creative brain. That's where Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) comes in.
EMDR can ease the distress you associate with your worst memories and experiences, combining your imagination with bilateral stimulation-often in the form of guided eye movements.
The result?
The way you perceive events changes, giving you a more balanced understanding of both yourself and the world around you.
Written by a licensed psychologist and EMDR therapist, this guide is not designed to replace therapy, but to give you relief and a pathway back to your true self.
Inside, you'll discover:
- How EMDR works
- Practical exercises to help you identify your trauma (you might be surprised where you find it!)
- Clear guidance for finding the memories that are affecting you the most deeply...even if you don't realize it
- Step-by-step guidance for processing a trauma memory through EMDR
- How art can be combined with EMDR-and why this is so effective (with practical steps for applying your creative self)
And much more.
EMDR can help you process painful memories and lead you back to your true self.
