Since taking the training for EMDR Standard Protocol in 2015, I have been impressed with the results of EMDR. How does EMDR work? How can I innovate the technique to achieve even better results for my clients? Can the technique be improved upon to make it faster? These are questions I have been thinking about for the past seven years. In order to further my learning and improve my technique, I read every book on neuroscience and advanced topics in EMDR including EMDR 2.0 that I could get my hands on. My version of EMDR is 9.5 times faster than Standard EMDR Protocol with adaptations to phases 2 - 7 of EMDR Standard Protocol as well as a reconceptualization of the theory. Most of my clients meet their goals in 3-5 one hour sessions. The average rate of decrease in symptoms is 82% using the Complex Trauma Inventory as a pre and post assessment. (Pending Publication).
