I've done this 3x and each time the same core emotion comes up: anxiety, fear, dread, impending doom, ghostly faces/shadows. The 1st 2 sessions the dread was viscerally gripping. The 3rd time the dread was less but the thoughts flooded in more. At one point during the 3rd session a feeling of self-love flowed in unexpectedly.
I did EMDR with my therapist years ago. When this video first started the answer to my question immediately showed up. My protective self was once again trying.to protect me as I have begun to change my.life and live it. Becoming larger than my spiritual and nurturing self to protect me to keep me safe and not get hurt. I was able to visualize that side of me getting more aligned with my other core selves. Breathing easier and more at peace
my body started shivering/shaking or like my breathing did and then i started to feel more relaxed i started crying after feeling like tears wouldn't come out all day and then i googled and learned that shuddering is a physical sign of emotional recovery from PTSD I LOVE THIS, thank you 😭
It would be even more amazing if when the ball hit the right side, the right headphone sounded, and when hit the left side the left headphone sounded. Thankyou!
The first week of doing this therapy I felt so many emotions and cried every time and just in general felt horrible about myself and depressed all week. However during this session I don’t feel those emotions at all, just numb to it. Is this a sign that it has worked or is my brain repressing it to protect me? its hard to tell, would appreciate another point of view
From experience, this is the correct result of EMDR. Your brain has began dissociating the trauma with a fight or flight response. And it can take a few (or several) tries to get to that point. Especially, since this is self-administered.
What about when you have unconscious trauma and you just can't pin point where exactly is the issue? I just concentrated in my anxiety but nothing came up out of it. I'm confused.
Just do what you can right now. It´s with everything else, don´t overwhelm yourself or you make it worse. It develops over time. I also would recommend to what real EMDR sessions and learn about that method. And also, it´s not for everyone.
I can't focus my eyes on the ball I feel like I'm going cross eyed the way it moves, like the back and forth motion is simply but something about the speed and the blurrienss that occurs as it rolls makes my eyes feel like they will just stare through the screen.
Mit einem guten Kopfhörer kann man die Augen schließen und braucht den Ball nicht zu verfolgen. Es wirkt genau so gut, wenn abwechseln im linken Ohr der Ton ankommt und dann im rechten Ohr.

We apologize for that! This channel was recently monetized, and are still navigating the add placement. This has now been changed on all videos. Thank you for your feedback! It has been very helpful!
Watching the ball made me uncomfortable I was replaying to my head the negative thoughts but I couldn’t fallow the ball I hade to stop after 2 minutes anybody knows why I couldn’t finish the video
Is this just for desensitisation or reprogramming as well? Is it possible to reprogram myself once the anxiety and strong feelings have passed? Thank you 🙏.
I would recommend a book called Self-Guided EMDR Therapy. According to that book, once the negative feeling has been reduced to zero (i.e. you no longer feel it), you can re-program with a positive thought while doing the bilateral stimulation again. It's definitely possible to use this to reprogram once the negative feeling has passed. (I'm not an EMDR therapist; that's just what the books says.)
Every day Your brain lets go of a few seconds of mental imagery. It takes a long time, a long time indeed... but as a person who has been aggressively and fatally suicidal since birth, I swear to god there’s a way through the trauma. It’s a different type of trauma and a different, nearly inexplicable type pain. The universe making fate of you to feel this way doesn’t mean you deserve it or that you did anything, it was just Mother Earth adding that to your story in it’s sick, perverse, and incomprehensible ways. Going through that type of shit, you connect with people more. The deeper the pain, (I know it doesnt seem like joy exists all the time) the deeper Life will let you Understand itself, and see all the colors Beyond the capacity of the human eye.
Try concentrating on anxiety or something traumatic while your eyes follow the ball. The purpose is to retrain your brain by following the ball and lowering the power of the anxious thoughts. So it can lower anxiety attacks.
I think its more about the feelings... try to stay focused on one event at a time and keep thinking about how you felt or try to remember your exact feelings at that time. I picture the event & I say my feelings in my head over and over while I do this. Very helpful I think.
Your brain knows best. If you’re going to another topic that at first seems random, try to see if there’s a connection. Often things that hurt are rooted in multiple or older experiences. :)
@@ness6133 Based on what I've read, I agree with this. Your brain may take you to something else that it needs to do before it does what you were thinking of doing. If your brain is a jack rabbit, then you might want to see an EMDR therapist to figure out how to handle this in session.
Tell me what happened to you. I want to know. I also want you to know that I have suffered monolithic trauma as well and will be here to listen while providing a safe space to vent.
There are commercials in this 😖☹! Very disruptive to the process. Thank you for posting this, but Please take the commercials out. I will go to other emdr posts that Don't have commercials that interrupt the flow.
You don't need the audio unless you have eye issues. EMDR was invented with only eye movement. The audio bilateral stimulation was added later. It's not necessary.
No, the audio doesn't have to be alternating because the visual eye movement is enough. EMDR was originally created only with eye movement. That is the source of the bilateral stimulation, not the audio here. The audio in stereo would be nice but it doesn't "have to be" in stereo to work.
Does this works. I amnot able to speak a single word in front of boys. I does a lots of meditation, exercise, goes for movies, അറ്റൻഡ്സ് സ്പി exams and interciews. I want to stay as a pure soul and wants to talk to everyone
It may help to focus on the first time the event occurred and then go forward to other events. Write down the events and then take one by one and do the exercise. This is what I work on when I work with clients.)

My EMDR therapist suggested speeding up the video to 1.25x. I have made sooo much progress in my healing with this video. Thank you so much!

How are you doing a month later?
How are you now?
Helplessness and despair is what it brings up... felt like almost crying but didn't.
Bilateral stimulation can do wonders!
It would be even more amazing if when the ball hit the right side, the right headphone sounded, and when hit the left side the left headphone sounded. Thankyou!
Julian, thank you for the suggestion, I will do this from now on :)

Very good to fall asleep

Just watch the video and concentrate on yourself in the present moment. The issue will come to the surface eventually
Maybe think about something besides yourself for more than ten seconds at a time.
@@felixoupopotethere’s no need to be mean
The motion blur is uncomfortable to watch, Thank you do much!

I had similar issue. I actually focus on something in my room on left and on right of my phone and moved my eyes back and forth. It worked

May I please ask if this works ok on mobile phone (horizontal so it is widest possible) or do you advice only doing it on a PC screen? Thank you.
Either! :D

Just checking how are doing? Though hopeless, traumatic and horrific, please don't give up on yourself. You are still special.
Thank you so much!
Why is this not a stereo sound with left and right clicks?
What is this supposed to do? I watch it but I don't feel any change or anything.
Try concentrating on anxiety or something traumatic while your eyes follow the ball. The purpose is to retrain your brain by following the ball and lowering the power of the anxious thoughts. So it can lower anxiety attacks.
So is this just an example of bilateral stimulation? And the person stops it when they need to and tells themselves what came up and then keep going?
What happens when you can't keep the same thought and you go from one thought to the next?
I think its more about the feelings... try to stay focused on one event at a time and keep thinking about how you felt or try to remember your exact feelings at that time. I picture the event & I say my feelings in my head over and over while I do this. Very helpful I think.

Can’t use for just audio… hear the bounce in both ears
You don't need the audio unless you have eye issues. EMDR was invented with only eye movement. The audio bilateral stimulation was added later. It's not necessary.
If you're hearing the same audio in both ears, it's because your audio on your device is set to mono not stereo.
Seriously though - You monetized this and have a commercial in the middle of it?
this video has not stereo sound for left and right brain
I have tears and a runny nose, what's happening to me? 😢
It’s release of stress. It means its working
The ads disrupt the video
ARE YOU KIDDING ME YOU HAVE ADS ON THIS VIDEO?
THIS AUDIO IS NOT BILATERAL. IT SOUNDS IN BOTH EARS AT THE SAME TIME. IT HAS TO BE ALTERNATING
No, the audio doesn't have to be alternating because the visual eye movement is enough. EMDR was originally created only with eye movement. That is the source of the bilateral stimulation, not the audio here. The audio in stereo would be nice but it doesn't "have to be" in stereo to work.

Ads?!
hey, what's up?
Didnt feel a thing
The repetitive clicking is completely annoying 😂
There’s this Leetle thing called a volume button, lol 😂
Commercials ruined the experience, unfortunately
Try premium.

I feel nothing. Oh wait there's too many repressed emotions.
