It's an amazing technique, and I believe in it wholeheartedly. This particular counselor is based in New York and used EMDR to help alleviate post traumatic stress among victims of the September 11th attacks, including many firefighters. Many EMDR practitioners have special devices that fully immerse you in the side-to-side balancing experience. This one had something set up not only for your eyes to follow, but that also had headphones with an alternating stereo sound and little things to hold in your hands that vibrated alternating right and left. You can also find a few CDs out there that play soothing sounds like ocean waves and rain with an alternating stereo field. Any right-left-right-left stimulus works. A little plug for people who have helped and inspired me: If you're in NYC and interested in a licensed practitioner, visit http://www.yourturnpsychotherapy.com. If you're interested in how EMDR can help you creatively, it's worth looking at David Grand's page at http://www.biolateral.com. Thanks Emma for talking about EMDR. Good stuff. I hope my suggestions are helpful to anyone who's interested... I went to a psychotherapist who specializes in EMDR for many years. It’s an amazing technique, and I believe in it wholeheartedly.

I studied specialised kinesiology which uses a lot of this "weird" stuff and, yes, it does work! I haven't used these particular techniques and am always interested in what else has a positive effect. Juliet Hi
