« I have just read your article about the eye movements techniques and I insist on thanking you for it. As a therapist, I had a lot of questions about the subject and thought the techniques were out of reach for me as a non medical therapist, as the EMDR training is not open for all therapists. Reading the article it seems it is not and I am looking forward to working with the technique in my practice. I have already tested the protocol from the article on myself and even if I was a little sceptical about doing it on myself, I am thrilled ! In a few minutes, a problem I had for years just vanished and I feel so relieved! I will most definitively buy your book Connect Disconnect Reconnect as soon as you publish it in English (as my French is really bad ;-)
Thank you again ! »
