A small success story: “REMSTIM 3000…and it works!”<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>When I had the idea 15 years<\/strong> ago to make EMDR available to everyone for self-coaching, I had no idea that it would become a small success story. I had already been working with EMDR for some time and was fascinated by the method. I was usually able to help my clients quickly and reliably during the session. Again and again I was asked whether EMDR could not be used alone, in self-application. In principle, there was nothing to be said against it for everyday conditions, i.e. emotional stress of a non-illness nature, and I liked the idea of EMDR<\/a> being really helpful in self-coaching<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So I set about investigating EMDR for effective self-coaching<\/a> in more detail. It became apparent that the original EMDR process<\/a> had to be adapted for self-application in coaching so as not to overwhelm self-applicants. This was not complicated at all. I wrote down the instructions for EMDR self-coaching and made them available for free download<\/a>. It has now been downloaded tens of thousands of times.<\/p>\n

EMDR needs an external stimulus<\/h2>\n

So far so good. But there should be another problem: the central element of EMDR is the rapid eye movements that users make in the EMDR process. During these rapid eye movements, the stresses are processed. Now you would think that performing rapid eye movements is not that difficult. But far from it. Experiments showed that users were not able to perform the rapid eye movements correctly and especially persistently enough, especially under stress. As a result, EMDR self-coaching has become more akin to a guided EMDR session, in which a coach guides clients through, for example, a “guided” EMDR session. hand waving to quick eye movements, was far inferior.<\/p>\n

Even waving in front of your own eyes to follow your own hand movement with your eyes was not a solution either. The own load led here to the fact that the angular movements were insufficiently executed in quality and duration.<\/p>\n
