Good afternoon. My name is Donna Gamble from Charlotte North Carolina.

I had been reading about EMDR therapy for PTSD.  I went online to research the possibility of doing this type of session in the comfort and privacy of my home as opposed to going to a clinic. It would suit my schedule better than having to schedule sessions somewhere else.

I found Virtual EMDR and decided to try it out.

I focused on helping myself with diagnosed PTSD caused by my former marriage. 

After the first session I noticed I was not being triggered as I had previous to the session when having to communicate with my ex-husband.

I completed three more sessions on this particular topic. 

This has allowed me to think more clearly and act from a more focused perspective.

I then completed several more sessions concerning other triggers that obviously created trauma in my growing up years.

I believe that I am now able to act as opposed to react.

The triggers have been lessened and I can think and process more clearly without those triggered feelings and thoughts.

I will continue to utilize Virtual EMDR. It is effective and convenient doing EMDR online. 

I have also recommended Virtual EMDR to friends who have positive things to say about utilizing it.

A little background on me: I have an undergrad degree in psychology and continue to read articles with new or renewed therapeutic modalities. Follow the directions and see what it brings you.
