EMDR therapy is well known because general practitioners refer you to EMDR therapists for trauma treatment. You can see a trend of many psychologists and other therapists taking a few course days of EMDR continuing education and then practising this profession. My conviction is that rooting out a traumatic experience really stops the years-long process of attracting life events that alert you to heartache. No more need to use mental tools to learn to deal with situations well or better.
In this sense, the EMDR approach is a quick fix to take the edge off your trauma so that you can get back to life quickly. Choose a better approach route provided you value personal or spiritual development. With EMDR therapy, an energy leak remains active, preventing your light bulb from expanding further in terms of love. You are less affected by the triggers.
Summary: EMDR therapy disadvantages are : suppresses only the effects of trauma, fights the symptoms mentally and blocks spiritual growth. And for very severe traumas, it does not work adequately and the root and branch approach becomes more difficult because of the diversion already made in the brain.
EMDR therapy meaning
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Abbreviated thus EMDR. If you continue to maintain effects of a traumatic event, then this is the most popular form of therapy. This can be as a result of a physical accident or a nasty emotional very shocking experience. A combination is also possible. Think of sexual assault or sexual abuse. Is EMDR dangerous? What are the drawbacks?
EMDR therapy was discovered 25 years ago by US psychologist Francine Shapiro and was transformed into a complete therapeutic method. Not always the best for trauma processing. There are two drawbacks.
When EMDR?
After a traumatic shocking, painful and frightening event can leave you stuck in processing. The event is frozen in ice, so to speak. The grief and fear processing is therefore delayed. Like a magnet, this heartbreak attracts life events that point to the pain. EMDR tries to stop this process via a diversion.
It even shapes your character. Unconsciously, you react allergically to new events related to that old experience. Victims often suffer from panic attacks, hyperventilation and obsessions. EMDR therapy chooses to help you get rid of symptoms with a so-called Quick Fix. As a result, allergic reactions disappear in plus minus 70% of treated clients. However, at its core, the traumatic experience is not completely out of your system. For that reason, I take another root-and-branch eradication approach a form of spiritual therapy.
It can also be important for both partners in marriage or relationship therapy. With psychic therapy a medium can help look at pregnancy and first 7 years of life. And if necessary, with parents and grandparents as well. Eighty per cent of adults have forgotten everything or blocked parts of memory of painful events. In summary, EMD Therapy has its limitations. Whatever form of therapy you choose it is still important to awaken spiritually.
EMDR therapy disadvantages?
When not to choose this form of therapy? If you want to choose personal development in the future and root out the problem. As a result, new life events that trigger your old grief will no longer come at you. After EMDR, they still come at you and you only learn to deal with them differently. These are the 2 biggest drawbacks.
When is EMDR therapy dangerous?
Therapy is dangerous if there is a very severe trauma, for example, due to violence. Also if you have a very complex sexual trauma experienced or if you still have doubts about it. Opt for energetic therapy and for trauma processing with healing a medium. Also hearing from clients at the 30% - 40% where it did not help.
Shocking events
Various shocking events can lead to processing problems. For example, if you are a victim of:
- a natural disaster
- an accident
- severe chronic illness
- theft or violent robbery
- rape, sexual assault or sexual abuse
- a war crime or situation
- a blazing fire
Other shocking grief farewell events:
- permanent job loss
- Loss of a loved one due to divorce
- loss of autonomy due to illness or guardianship
EMDR Therapy - the redirection - and Energetic Therapy - the root and branch method are both aimed at helping you with this. So the intention of all therapists is the same!
Complaints or symptoms of syndromes for therapy
After a shocking event, you may suffer from a variety of symptoms. EMDR therapy and Spiritual Therapy can help with:
- bad memories of the old moment.
- reliving (feeling it over and over again).
- Avoid situations related to the old event.
- more irritable or short fuse a form of anger.

Summary Therapy form
