Self-Administered EMDR (Is it A Good Idea For You?)

Can you do EMDR on yourself or do you need a therapist? Barbara Heffernan discusses this issue in a comprehensive way, outlining some pros and cons, and three critical things to assess prior to moving forward with EMDR with or without a therapist. This video does not treat the issue in a simplistic, cut and dry manner, but instead provides guidance on when it can be helpful, and what things a therapist can do that probably can't be replicated. Barbara also discusses the website Virtual EMDR, which provides guidance to those who are doing EMDR on their own. Self-administered EMDR can be helpful and many people find self EMDR to be a wonderful compliment to therapy or a wonderful tool on its own.
