EMDR Therapy Workbook

EMDR Therapy, healing from chronic stress and trauma, and learning how to achieve mental and emotional wellness can feel confusing and overwhelming when you don't know what to expect or how it all works.

The EMDR Therapy Progress Journal

is an interactive guide to support you through the life changing process of EMDR Therapy and overcome anxiety, depression, PTSD and other trauma-related stressors for good.

Have you been in therapy for your mental health for years and still struggle to gain control over your life?

​

The World Health Organization (WHO) found that 1 in 5 people have a mental health condition. With over 20% of our population struggling daily, our mankind is suffering and the importance of addressing mental health can no longer be ignored.

 

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a trauma-informed, solution focused therapy that was founded by Francine Shapiro in 1987 for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Since then, it has become one of the best ways to overcome anxiety, depression, and a number of other mental health struggles.
 

Since EMDR is vastly different from talk therapy, many individuals find themselves feeling confused or lost in the process. In her almost decade of experience working in the field of trauma and EMDR, Dana Carretta-Stein (The EMDR Coach) noticed these challenges and wanted to come up with a way to make EMDR easier for clients AND therapists.
 

The EMDR Therapy Progress Journal helps to identify potential challenges in EMDR Therapy and navigate them with easy-to-understand language, visual aides, and analogies, while the worksheets and writing prompts keep you on track and focused to maximize your progress. Everything you need for a successful experience with EMDR Therapy is included, so you can finally take control of your mental health and live a fulfilled and empowered life.
