Reprocessing the Past

A therapist's fingers moving left and right, a memory held in mind, and — for reasons science is still arguing about — the memory begins to lose its teeth. EMDR sounds implausible to almost everyone who later swears by it.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts follow the protocol from history-taking and resourcing through the reprocessing sessions themselves: the images that surfaced, the body sensations that moved and discharged, the exhaustion afterwards, and the strange morning a trigger simply failed to fire. Writers treat car crashes, assaults, childhood wounds, and medical trauma. The honest chapters describe sessions that flooded rather than healed, therapists changed midway, and memories that needed more than one approach.

Who it's for

For trauma survivors considering EMDR, those partway through and wondering if the churning is normal, and the people who love them.
