Synopsis

An introduction to EMDR, a proven trauma therapy with the power to heal, cowritten by a world-renowned therapist and a patient who experienced transformative relief through EMDR therapy.
 
Trauma is a part of life. 

You or someone you care about has probably experienced trauma, whether “big-T” trauma, such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or the more common but no less significant “little-t” trauma that can result from divorce, job loss, painful childhood experiences, or any situation where you felt worthless, afraid, or powerless. Untreated trauma can lead to long lasting effects such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and difficulties maintaining intimate relationships.
 
But the good news is that we can heal—and it doesn’t have to take a lifetime. EMDR (which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a unique type of psychotherapy proven to help people recover from trauma and improve the quality of their lives. 
 
Cowritten by a patient who experienced transformative relief from trauma through EMDR therapy, and a world-renowned psychologist who explains exactly how and why EMDR works, Every Memory Deserves Respect provides clear information while offering inspiration and hope. 
 
Through compelling science and personal stories we learn how trauma is stored in the brain and body, continuing to cause pain and suffering, and how EMDR frees us by repatterning our thinking and emotional reactions. It explains why talk therapy has only a limited impact on trauma recovery, describes what to expect from gentle and targeted EMDR therapy, and offers guidance on how to find a therapist who is just right for you.

As per recommendation, I've dived into yet another book on a therapeutic model. I've heard a lot about EMDR, but never knew much about it. This book was great in explaining what it is and how it can help people dealing with the effects of trauma in their lives. This is co-written by a therapist who......more

This is a great book about EMDR. It gives a history, theory, and process as well as what a client may experience all in a voice that is conversational and not overwhelming with clinical speak. It is a quick read and worth the time.......more

Goodreads review by Sandra on September 06, 2021

For anyone who is interested in EMDR therapy, or anyone who is curious about it, this book will illuminate the process. The two authors present the client's story of childhood trauma, and a renowned therapist's explanation of the science of EMDR treatment. There are numerous photos that help to illu......more
