The following are quotes from Mental Health Experts regarding EMDR Therapy.
Dusty Bowencamp, RN CTR, Disaster Mental Health, American Red Cross
“EMDR assists survivors in the immediate aftermath of violent trauma by breaking through the walls of denial, shock, grief and anger. Ideal for those who have been unable to forget past traumatic life events, as it allow for a rapid processing of even deeply rooted memories, giving individuals back control of their lives and their emotions.”
Steven Lazrove, M.D., Yale University
“EMDR is a powerful new tool for relieving human suffering; its study opens new doors to our understanding of the mind. It is one of the most significant advances since the introduction of psychopharmacologic drugs.”
Arnold A. Lazarus, Ph.D., A.B.P.P., Rutgers University
“EMDR is one of the newest and most promising methods that has arisen in the last 10-20 years. EMDR attends to the client as a complex and multifaceted person.”
Laura S. Brown, Ph.D., University of Washington
“EMDR quickly opens new windows on reality, allowing people to see solutions within themselves that they never knew were there. And it’s a therapy where the client is very much in charge, which can be particularly meaningful when people are recovering from having their power taken away by abuse and violation.”
Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
“EMDR is a significant component of treatment in the Trauma Recovery Program at the Menninger Clinic.”
Herbert Fensterheim, Ph.D., Cornell University
“EMDR is the most revolutionary, important method to emerge in psychotherapy in decades.”
