Tools for better Managing your emotions

Prior to opening up the issues that will be the subject of the EMDR work – for EMDR processing, it is important that you are well equipped with tools and resources to better manage your emotions between sessions.

You are purchasing a video providing those tools – which are tools for a lifetime – for managing your emotions in all aspects of life. It is also a teaching and practice tools video to gain some basic knowledge about the Brain and the impact of Trauma, Stress, Anxiety, Upset or other emotions that cause the brain to need to get back equilibrium – homeostasis; to get the Brain out of FIGHT/FLIGHT/FREEZE response to the emotions that you are experiencing.

Practice them regularly so that they become your new “go-to” self-soothe for MOOD MANAGEMENT. They really work! Follow the instructions from a very experienced EMDR Practitioner.

EMDR therapy involves attention to three time periods:  the past, present, and future.  Focus is given to past disturbing memories and related events.  Also, it is given to current situations that cause distress, and to developing the skills and attitudes needed for positive future actions. Initial EMDR processing may be directed to childhood events, rather than to adult onset stressors or the identified critical incident if there was a problematic childhood.

What problems can EMDR treat?

Scientific research has established EMDR as effective for post traumatic stress. Clinicians also have reported success using EMDR in treatment of the following conditions:

  • Panic attacks
  • Complicated grief
  • Dissociative disorders
  • Disturbing memories
  • Phobias
  • Pain disorders
  • Performance anxiety
  • Stress reduction
  • Addictions
  • Sexual and/or Physical abuse
  • Body dysmorphic disorders
  • Personality Disorders

“Trauma is the external wound, not the internal event” – Gabor Mate

“Trauma is a story that has not moved on”. It is a “story” because of the truths that your brain made of the event when it unfolded; but it may not be the full reality because of the compromised brain functioning at the time of the event – but it is set up in the body – from what all five senses took in at the time.
