Remote EMDR Therapy Demonstration: April 4, 2020

Mark Brayne, one of the most practiced clinicians in the world at offering EMDR therapy in an online model, takes Dr. Jamie Marich through the standard protocol (with some gentle modifications) remotely. Mark is in Sheringham, England, UK, and Jamie is in Warren, OH and they are working on Zoom.
This video demonstration is not intended to replace proper training in EMDR therapy, nor is it designed to be a "Do It Yourself" EMDR video. Proper EMDR therapy must be facilitated by a trained, professional clinician.
This video is meant to be a teaching device for clinicians, and an informational video for clients on what they may be able to expect from EMDR and related interventions.

hI Jamie what you think on the web site TurboEMDR? It worked wonderful to me so far to proccess trauma and make me happier but i afraid to do more in my own withour therapist. I am doing EMDR online because i live in a country where EMDR is not avialable. and i am poor.

[@mysoulmatewedding]

Thank you so much for this. As a therapist studying EMDR, having these instructional videos is immensly valuable. Thank you so much. Mon

[@wholeartedly_studio6723]

I'm incredibly grateful for being able to view this as I learnt so much. One drawback I notice is that the therapist, Mark, is engaged in writing down the precise language of the client, Dr Jamie, to replay it back to her. Around the 15 minute mark, when he is seeking to find which message resonates most strongly for Jamie, Mark is looking down to write, and misses her body language. She is diagonally nodding (quite clearly not giving a solid 'yes' or 'no'). I point this out in case it helps therapists in an actual session - it must be very tricky to capture the language and stay fully visually engaged! Great demo, thanks

[@colleenshelton9972]

Thank you so much for all the work you do and for making it public for all of us to learn from. Also, the world of academia in the mental health arena has too long been run by those without heart or emotion. We need your voice. You are a pioneer and a world changer! God bless your efforts! Please keep us updated about your published papers etc, so that we are able to cheer you on!

[@karenkingsley439]

Thank you both so much. I feel much more relaxed about doing EMDR remotely having watched this.

[@susanpackwood2452]

Thank you so much! This was really helpful, I haven’t used headphones and now I will and just watching was so encouraging after only doing a weeks worth of teletherapy. I tapped along with both of you so now my voice counts too😊

[@sandiebroomfield6245]

Thank you so very much. The comments exchanged at the end regarding the unique qualities that remote communication is the headphones bringing the voices directly into one another's ears, being able to hear the tapping of the therapist, wow, blown my mind ! This is so true. Even more intimate in a way than physical presence. Can't believe how this has changed my thinking about remote therapy. As someone in need of help for processing trauma with the only option being remote therapy, untill I saw this today I was feeling despair that it would not work. So grateful I saw this today.

[@beyouself22]

Thank you Jamie. It's unbelievable how connected to both of you I felt. I was tapping at your pace and focusing on my own issues. Thank you both.

[@fio1mac2]

Great work Jamie. And you have a VERY important voice - it resonates with me personally and professionally that not many others do. Keep it up!

[@Tropicalros]

A valuable contribution to help all of us working in this way at this time of great challenge. Thanks to you both.

[@eilishburke9585]

Jamie, I'm so grateful for this video and all of the work you publish here on KZbin and elswewhere. Your gift to the world is your ability to be fully present and open as a client, as well as being an expert clinician. Very few can do this (and I do wonder if academic psychology uses emotion-less and distant language to move away from the scary but essential undertaking of human healing!) Thanks so much for your ongoing inspiration and tuition.

[@joane9096]

Thank you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable with us. This was amazing! I have been struggling with the idea of doing EMDR virtually and now I have no doubt that it can be just as successful as in person.

[@donnaandrus2352]

Wow this was great. I'm an EMDR therapist and have yet done EMDR with a client online though I've had several callers who were interested. I went searching on the internet "how to do EMDR online," and this popped up. Dr. Jamie Marich was so real. Thank you for bravely showing your true self. Your transparency brought feelings up for me. And your humor was spot on. Thank you Dr. Brayne for demonstrating your mastered skills as an EMDR therapist. You are natural and fluent in your guidance of the process. So now I know I can do this online through tapping and eye movements too (though that is often a distraction for most of my clients who prefer to close their eyes). I am concerned however that online EMDR might not work smoothly for me because of the delayed effect (even frozen affect) that happens in my neck of the woods (mountain town) with imperfect internet service. It's one thing to have talk-therapy interrupted, but EMDR--not so sure. Any comments, suggestions etc.?

[@mimistone2309]

I agree that having clear internet connection is vital. That is why I got a landline/internet, acknowledging that it might not be accessible to you. All the best!

Wonderful demonstration, thanks Jamie! Excellent noting of 'dissociative edge', non pathologizing and truly accepting.

[@lyndarushton6124]

I am wondering if the obvious connection was easier to tap into given that you have worked together before. I have noticed that with my kinesiologist we have developed a very subtle rapport and I have the confidence to share the vaguest of feelings, bodily sensations, nagging concerns in total safety in the relationship. I guess this is the same for the two of you as a team. Curious too know what you may be thinking about new connections with clients where there is not that 1/ highly developed self awareness, bodily confidence or 2/ safety and rapport. Perhaps you have explored this with other videos. Especially given many clients opt for a small number of sessions and take awhile to feel self/other trust. Thanks so much for this, I really appreciate taking the time to produce this. BEautiful

Thank you so much for sharing this. Is the butterfly hug always used in EMDR? Also I must have missed it but what does PC stand for?

[@BigPhil2024]

Butterfly hug isn't always used, but moreso used online. You can use variations of eye movements, tones and taps. It's all about bi-lateral stimulation. PC = positive cognition. So lets just say the negative cognition (NC) is 'I'm weak'. The PC would be 'I'm strong'. Hope that helps

[@denisealley9822]

@Estairia Hong, I do EDMR and brainspotting online and I did the butterfly hug last time, for the first time. I usually use and prefer, when the therapist uses a light and you go back and forth with it, with your eyes. I get such better results. This new therapist doesn't have a light?!! Which stinks 😐

[@sunflowersweetness9644]

Confused. Not familiar with EMDR Therapy, 1st video watched. Have watched 85% of the video. The Video title states EMDR THERAPY,(Eye Movement). Yet, the video seems to be EFT THERAPY (Body Tapping) focused. Is the video mislabeled? Or, does EMDR also involve Tapping??

[@sunflowersweetness9644]

Having previously used a headset for other (non-EMDR) online appointments, I can say using a headset does indeed make it a more personal experience, even better than an in office appt. the person I was working with recommended a an inexpensive gamIng headset. I think it was under $15-$20 on Amazon. In contrast my hubby has a $200 headset for music. I tried both headsets for online appts thinking the exp music headset might be even better outcome. Nope, the inexpensive gaming headset delivered incredible clarity for listening audiobooks or participating in online calls.

[@avershov]

Why is this technique referred to as EMDR ? Isn’t it tapping? Where does eye movement take place?

[@jacquesesouthern858]

It began as eye movement desensitization reprocessing. KZbin has videos on that as well. The therapy has evolved to work with those who cannot do the eye movement as well, kids, blind people ect. This is a cool way to do it via telehealth, they also have like clickers and lights that can be helpful for those who do not wish to follow the hand moment .I’m a therapist going through my training now, not an expert but this is a one explanation for why. I am sure therapist with more experience could give a better explanation.

[@kroconn10]

The tapping stimulates the same part of the brain that would “light up” with moving your eyes. By tapping with your arms crossed and closing your eyes- your eyes move the same way as if they were open and following the fingers
