What is EMDR?
If you could cut stress, increase productivity and profit, enhance performance, or just feel better about who you are, what impact would it have on your business and personal life?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an accelerated change technology developed in 1987 by Francine Shapiro for anxiety and traumatic stress. Research studies prove its dramatic speed and effectiveness.
EMDR is used to:
Eliminate Negative States
· Procrastination, Indecision, Distractibility, Poor Concentration
· Performance Anxiety, Fear of Failure, Fear of Rejection
· Feelings of Inadequacy, Incompetence, Overwhelm
Strengthen Positive States
· Focus, Concentration, Motivation, Self-Confidence, Initiative
· Quick & Effective Problem Solving & Decision Making
· Rapid Integration & Use of New Information & Skills
· Effective Prioritization & Time Management
Coaches, consultants, and counselors who use EMDR point out four distinctions between EMDR and traditional verbal approaches: Effectiveness, Efficiency, Ease of Benefit & Enduring Performance. With EMDR we do not just “think” ourselves into acting and feeling better, we actually stimulate the brain and nervous system to function at a higher capacity.
Daniel Amen: “Brain-imaging studies in the Amen Clinics have shown that EMDR can actually heal brain function after trauma.” (From David Grand’s book on the subject, Emotional Healing at Warp Speed)
