Books - EMDR: The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma

This is yet another obscure, niche book that needs to be highlighted because of its importance to those whose lives could be significantly improved through the therapy detailed in its pages. I don't even recall how I was introduced to EMDR therapy, but when I learned nearly 11 years ago about just how effective the therapy was in addressing hard-to-treat disorders such at PTSD, I obtained the Kindle edition and immediately began reading it.

EMDR: The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma is the 2016 updated edition and available in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, audiobook, and audio CD formats.

About this book

Hailed as the most important method to emerge in psychotherapy in decades, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) has successfully treated more than one million sufferers worldwide for trauma-related conditions, as well as phobias and other experience-based disorders. EMDR is the essential guide to this remarkable therapy, written by its pathbreaking creator Francine Shapiro.

Drawing on the experiences of thousands of clinicians as well as a vast research literature on depression, addiction, PTSD, and other disorders, Shapiro explains how painful life experiences are physically stored in our brains, making us feel and act in counterproductive ways, and how EMDR therapy can bring relief, often in a remarkably short period of time. EMDR is essential reading for practicing psychotherapists and anyone who seeks to understand why we hurt, how we heal, and how we get better.
