Is EMDR Therapy Right for You?

The Maiberger Institute provided Erin’s basic training in providing Remote EMDR therapy. This resource from the Maiberger Institute outlines ways to know if EMDR therapy is appropriate for you at this time.

There are many kinds of symptoms or problems clients bring to EMDR therapy from home, work, or relationships. People tend to think that EMDR only helps people who suffer from severe experiences like auto accidents, war, sexual abuse and rape. If you have suffered from these traumas, EMDR might be very helpful for you. But other issues can also be helped with EMDR.

Answer the following questions with a “Yes” or “No” to see if EMDR might be helpful to you.

I find it difficult to be assertive in my relationships at work or at home.

I struggle with my body image thinking I’m fat when others think my body is thin, or vice versa.      

I over eat when I get emotionally upset.       

I feel anxious or depressed most of the time.         

I have the tendency to procrastinate and feel bad about myself.         

I have behaviors that sabotage my efforts to succeed.   

I have a low tolerance for frustration or anger.       

I have a difficult time concentrating.    

I have lost interest in activities that used to bring me pleasure.         

I fight a lot and experience a lot of anger.     

I abuse substances and have an addiction.    

I struggle with making decisions.

I experience somatic Illnesses that doctors can’t explain.        

I am experiencing some sexual dysfunction. 

I feel panic a lot during the day or night.       

If you said “yes” to any of the above questions you might benefit from some EMDR Therapy.
