Carol E. Miller - Every Moment of a Fall : A Memoir of Recovery Through EMDR Therapy book TXT, PDF, EPUB
9781943156047 English 1943156042 Author Carol E. Miller turned to EMDR therapy after laboring for decades under the devastating impression that she had been at fault for the fatal crash of a private plane--in which she was a passenger-- at age sixteen that resulted in the death of her stepsister and the near deaths of her parents. Her feeling of responsibility for this horrific event was made even harder to bear when her stepfather told her in front of the entire family that he wished it had been she, and not his daughter, who had perished in the crash. EMDR Therapy--or Eye Movement Densitization and Reprocessing Therapy as it is clinically known--involves the tracking of a patient's eye movements as she recalls a traumatic event, and through the prompting of her therapist over an extended period of time, allows the course of those memories to be rearranged to bring about a clearer understanding of the reality surrounding that particular moment, in turn absolving crippling feelings of guilt and shame. This is both a brave and revealing memoir of a tragedy that altered the path to the author's adulthood, as well as a fascinating, vividly narrated exploration of this unique yet little understood therapy process that helped bring about her recovery., Carol E. Miller was sixteen when the private plane piloted by her father crashed, pinning her in the wreckage, critically injuring her parents and killing her twelve-year-old sister. Compounding this traumatic event, her father told her he wished she had died instead of her sister. For the next twenty years, she labored under feelings of guilt and lack of self-worth. When another in a long line of personal crises landed her in therapy with an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner, she began at last to investigate the crippling effects of the plane crash. Using bi-lateral stimulation to access her fiercely guarded memories, she learned to challenge the belief that the crash was all her fault, and that she didn't deserve to be alive. This is a brave and revealing memoir of recovery from tragedy, and a fascinating, vividly narrated exploration of the increasingly popular eye-movement therapy developed to heal the wounds trauma leaves in its wake.", EVERY MOMENT OF A FALL: A Memoir of Recovery Through EMDR Therapy By Carol E.
