Pros & Cons
Pros
Tbi instantly ended my thinking visually and visual memories. I have a few memories from my childhood that have always been part of my catalogue of memories.
I'm a huge proponent of emdr, and i find this book very illustrative of many of the principles. I am thankful too that the price of the book is so low so it is accessible to those without insurance. Learning how to conquer them is the best.
Easy to understand and implement remedies for ptsd. Emdr is new and i just started it with my therapist a few months ago.
Cons
Francine shapiro is not a novelist, but a psychologist. This is not for you to know, go see a therapist. Random ramblings about general things with no specifics, written like a 7th grade report on psychology.
This is a meandering, overly long advertisement for emdr. It somehow avoids describing what emdr actually is or how it works. It provides a few simple basic techniques (tapping, butterfly hug) without going into any depth about them.
In short, too much baloney. The whining is nearly unbearable.
Highlights
Quality
I am much improved especially with hypervigilance
Some folks think that therapy is for the weak but its actually for the brave
Again even though i felt some of the distress associated with the memory it did not reach the overwhelming stage as before
Its possible that people who are visually thinkers will have phenomenal success with emdr
