Dear creator of this video, thanks so much for providing a pretty nice EMDR tool. It doesn't function exactly like therapy, and I know you have a disclaimer that it isn't meant to be a replacement, but it still feels nice to be able to use it when therapy is not currently available to me. Sending my gratitude, and a big shout out to everyone who is navigating the dark right now. May you find your way!

[@billiemoore1625]

This was more helpful than other self administered emdr videos. More effective than when I work with my therapist.

[@StompMom5]

My daughter said the same thing. She saw an EMDR therapist and said this video was actually more beneficial. She's ADHD so the colored ball helps keep her focused

[@samanthaborsato5649]

Just one session eased the inner sense of the rocky relationship with my dad and how it has manifested in perfectionism and people pleasing over 30 years. I finally felt ready to tackle the issue after doing EMDR for some time now. I can't express my gratitude enough. 💕

[@vibe_depth373]

THIS IS AMAZING. It helped me root out a childhood trauma that has plagued me in different forms my whole life maybe. This feels so much better.

[@vibe_depth373]

I found this a year ago and it changed my mind for the better. 10/10

[@StompMom5]

I have sent and referred this to SO MANY PEOPLE. I had a very traumatic experience several years ago that I didn't realize caused paralyzing fear in me and clouded how was able to handle any given situation in my life. Not able to work, leave the house too often or interact with people. It was hard doing this because the memory stayed at a 10 during the first video. The second time around I started coughing like crazy, we're talking hacking up lungs here😅. My son ran into my room to make sure I wasn't dying😆. I definitely felt energy moving out. I'm still probably in the 6ish area but the fact that it's moving out is such great progress. No clue why people don't try the download instead of complaining about ads. My daughter did EMDR with a therapist earlier this year and it was $150 for a one hour session. This video is free and my daughter said it was actually more helpful than the therapist that charged loads of money. Thank you so much for making this!!! The colored ball keeps me focused.... Keeps my mind from wandering

[@jasmine4691]

This is SO helpful! I hope everyone who is lucky enough to stumble on this video gives it a try! I was using it to desensitize myself from a "bad scenario" that I created in my own head, and during this session I discovered a deep angle of why this "bad scenario" even occurred in my head and why I felt so threatened by it, tracing the source back to something in my childhood. Thank you for creating this. It is true that immediately following the session, your bad thoughts may get worse for a bit so definitely try not to think too much of your bad thoughts; those of you who are already in therapy or been on self-healing journey for a while, you know how to engage in your go-to techniques to handle upsetting thoughts. If you are very traumatized and you haven't been through any healing at all, you may want to try other methods of therapy first and not jump into the deep end with this video.

[@Monipenny1000]

Thank you! I stumbled on this video after watching other video's on EMDR to learn about it as I am about to begin EMDR with a therapist who was recently brought on board at the clinic where I had been in weekly talk therapy with my first therapist for just about a full year. I met my new therapist last Friday, again today, she is learning a lot about me, as, I can cover a lot of information in an hour. I am intrigued about EMDR especially since I will soon be experiencing it and hoping this will help my CPTSD. I am so intrigued that I am so tempted to play this video only to watch as an observer, not participating. I have many years of trauma in my life, I can not afford to add more to it. I appreciate your caution.

[@anjelikaelwell8852]

This is the best EMDR video I’ve seen. Thank you so much

[@jennifermaingallery]

Very effective...when I started at the beginning i felt overwhelmed of the emotions of remembering the traumatic event. i felt it was at an 8 and , as I followed the video it went to a 6...then the image and emotions began to soften/change and got covered in love & peace. New ways of seeing the images came...by about the 5th time of watching the ball the original disturbing image had completely changed to something I could handle and would say it ended at a 0. so awesome! Thank you for making this video!

[@SingerLucieWalker]

This is fantastic! In already feel some movement where before, a painful memory from my teens was just a solid block of anger/pain in me. And that's just my first go at this video. Saving this and making it a part of my life. Thank you!

[@lynsamfortas]

I can't believe how useful this was in uncovering negative core beliefs.

[@vibe_depth373]

[@Hautenani]

OMG this is so amazing! I did it today around gaslighting and invalidation plus group bullying (narcissistic ex husband whom I co-parent with) and a situation that has had me stuck had been released. I'm so grateful and will be doing this as often as I can.

[@Mariposa635]

Good to hear he is your ex I am stuck with a narcisist husband for over 20 years is hell

[@beshooketh9333]

My heart goes out for you. I suffer from, still in the present, n-abuse, invalidation and shaming/denigration attacks by a n-'parent.' Idk if a part of me wants to heal from c-ptsd epis wrt the past abuse if the traumatic environment is still perpetuated in the current reality. Your thoughts?

[@jkkbln400]

Every time i do this emdr session the days after i remember other experiences that i forgot! So i deal with a bad experience and after the session i remember an other one! Some of these experiences i never thought they traumatized me but they had an impact on me, and i truly love it, cause i usually forgot my past and my childhood.

[@stacymoore2727]

Thank you for your efforts and the free video. I found freedom from a trauma memory today by using this video. I will be using the video many times in my healing journey. Blessings over you.

[@AlizaLUCA]

I got really bad issues and anxiety attacks, due to the fact that stress is a major factor to my issues. When the colour shifts to fast for me to say it in time, my stress levels rise sky high, this did not reduce in any way. Just got worse due to me got scared of not managing it. Had to say inside to calm down a bit. The very nice about this is to understand how much stress is the cause of my issues.

[@stern4141]

I had similar, but got past it by realizing there is nobody listening, there won't be a quiz, I don't get points off for being wrong, nobody cares if I get a color wrong, and the point of saying the colors out loud isn't to get the colors right but to just occupy your brain with different sensory stimulis at once. Try saying "left, right" or even "change, change" when you see the ball move or change.

[@paulasitta8584]

I´ve done this twice, last week and today and I feel so much lighter and relaxed. I´ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety and also grief. Thanks for posting this, it truly did wonders for my mental health.

[@storycharms]

This technique is so subtle. My memory relates to a very difficult moment in childhood where I was under pressure to do something, had only one chance, and failure meant death or serious injury. Obviously, I succeeded and survived, yet the image haunts me and I suspect it's at the root of some long term behavioural and social problems, so I tried this exercise. I was going to comment, saying I didn't experience any thoughts or feelings each time between sessions watching the coloured ball, except for mild anxiety that maybe wasn't doing it right, or wasn't able to do it properly. But only as I wrote those words out, I finally realised - that's it. That's the whole thing! I feel so much lighter and upbeat right now, it's incredible. Huge thanks to you! ❤

[@QuriedeBerk]

What do you mean 'that's it'? It's not doing anything for me either. What's the catch?

[@CherylWuMD]

@@QuriedeBerkthe commenter is saying the actual experience of “not doing it right” itself WAS the traumatized effect s/he is trying to release. Once they realized it, they were able to release it.

[@maywriggle7090]

​@@QuriedeBerkIf you no longer have negative feelings when thinking about the event then that's a good sign that it's no longer a trauma. I think that's what OP means.

[@CarlSmith-ur8rk]

Thank you, from bottom of my heart 💓 I cannot describe how much it helped me, just speechless

[@sasamilic720]

Did anyone else experience a bunch of earlier traumatic experiences coming up each time? For me, my mind didn't focus on the event I came to heal from, but throughout the session I was unraveling earlier memories of similar painful experiences. Overall, very helpful, thank you. I will be coming back.

[@shyym4]

Second time trying it i was so angry and i felt more tension in my body compared with the first session, i also remembered more details (where more my imagination and my understanding of how it happens and how people looks like...) the last sentence "i can handle it" made feel more comfortable and shure of my self.

This is fantastic. I experienced a great sense of relief after the first session. I now do this twice a day and I’m feeling so much better. I appreciate in certain cases a therapist is advisable but this simple and effective process should be promoted and accessible to all struggling with mental health issues.

[@winterlauzon5707]

Im a big neville goddard /manifestibg fan and student. But id been trying to manifest a healthy loving romantic relationship for years (on and off). I realized id never experienced one and i only had bad memories and imprints to rely on while trying to create something new. I had no data in my storage to create what i wanted lol i finally tried this video. I choose the biggest moments of trauma id experienced with abandonment. After i did the video i replaced the scenes with new images of being loved and respected. It was almost immediate after this i met someone. Im now in my first relationship ever with a man that respects women and is good to me. Thank you ❤❤ im going to do it again today for business and success. Ps. For anyone interested - sometimes if i feel something happens that keeps looping in my mind and affecting me (meaning i havent processed it properly) i do whats in this video but on my own. Just quickly - seeing the ball go back and forth changing colors etc until the emotional reaction is gone. It can really help on the fly too!

I dug really deep that the original recent memory didnt even matter i just felt sad and resistant to acceptance that perfectinism is illusion and i just have to accept my and others actions as they are and mostly forgive myself. This was great to move the feeling away and start thinking about the problem objectivly ! Thank you so much 🙌

[@Si-iv9qd]

Thank you so much for this amazing healing video. I was wondering if you are suffering PTSD due to several people in your family members who verbally and physically abused you and then in spite of this you tried to help them as an adult, financially etc and they used you and then threw it in your face as an adult and then walked all over you and treated you like dirt and you have several memories of trauma coming up that you are dealing with should you remember them all when watching this video to heal completely. Thank you so much in advance ❤😊🙏

[@zeynepbarnar]

This video is just like what I experienced with my therapist and is effective. Thanks!

[@erasmus9627]

Would be better without the colour changes on the moving ball. Having to name the colours requires a lot of attention, which switches the mind from dual attention (a key element of EMDR) to mono attention.

[@Mind-Motion]

If you are retrieving the memory and at the same time you are distracted by naming the colors, the working memory gets overloaded. The working memory simply cannot cope. This creates a distance from the disturbing memory.

[@melindavictor266]

@@Mind-Motion thank you for this explanation. I have heard of EMDR including sound alternating from side to side in addition to the visual, but I had not heard of calling out colors. I did find it hard to stay on a thought or memory while calling out colors, but maybe that's the point? Sometimes I didn't call out the colors and sometimes I did. Either way, I felt so much better by the end of the video. I did a few sessions of EMDR with a therapist, but it wasn't nearly as helpful as this self-guided video. Thank you!!!

[@sandraj4830]

Naming colors made this so successful!!

[@Monipenny1000]

@@melindavictor266 you said, "I did a few sessions of EMDR with a therapist, but it wasn't nearly as helpful as this self-guided video." That is incredible! I will be beginning EMDR soon with a therapist, so of course, I am learning as much as I can about this modality. I have years of trauma I need healing for but due to the extent of my trauma, I am terrified to try it outside of professional guidence, but I am also incredibly intrigued and curious. I am debating whether or not to play this video just for observation only. I'm not ready to get sucked into opening a trauma wound without immediate tools to cope. Maybe after a few EMDR sessions with my therapist, I'll seek her advice about trying this at home because one hour a week in a clinical setting will take the rest of my life to resolve all of my traumas. BTW, I have been in weekly counseling for a year now, talk therapy, it's up and down, not healed, sometimes I felt worse after so much trauma dumping for many weeks, I felt so overwhelmed, though it has helped a little, I definantly noticed a lot of dots connecting in my brain, especially early on. I am definately in a better place than I was a year ago.

[@MummyBrown]

@@Mind-Motion Outwardly, that feels like it's impeding my process, but I'm not sure if that IS the process at work. Should we try harder on naming those colors if that feels like it's to the detriment of holding those memories/ emotions during this process? I hope that made sense. It feels as though I'm rubbing my tummy and patting my head and I'm not sure if I'm working against what I should be to be successful in my attempts.

[@NelinhaDC]

I’m confused, maybe this isn’t meant for me, but I’ve been actively seeking EMDR therapy for years without being able to find any options. I finally decided to see if there were any simple “do it yourself” options to just give it a try on a less serious stressful moment. I recounted my whole memory, finding it was more upsetting than I had originally remembered since I was actually recounting it in full. Once it got to the colored ball movements I was completely lost. The interruptions were asking what I saw now or what my interpretation of things were, but I had no idea because my focus was on naming the colors. That’s the entirety of what I was thinking about at that point and I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be thinking. Maybe I’m too Autistic and my thinking is too “black and white” to be able to focus on more than one thing for this, I wish I could experience what all the positive comments are describing :/

[@hd73vsjs8xveu3]

those comments may be from people who dont have actually have ptsd. ptsd or cptsd feels life endangering levels of bad. actually going delving into trauma is not a sensible thing without safety nets around you which I think is why self help is a bit of a dodgy approach. I just did this and found my thinking about it has been resurfaced a lot. it's not actually been helpful

[@dalb4444]

You could try gently tapping on your chest/shoulder, alternating left and right instead of naming the colors

[@srishtibansal0612]

that happened to me too but i just continued with the video and eventually got to actually processing the memory and image. i think, like in meditation, you just let your thoughts go wherever without judgement

[@hanalyzing1]

Guessing that’s the point to “break” the trauma

[@sf104]

Yes I can relate to what you say. I tried this video for the first time today and found that watching the ball and naming the colours was completely distracting me from thinking or feeling anything else. I wasn't sure if this was the actual purpose of it or whether I should be still trying to think about my feelings and thoughts related to the trauma event. It would be good if there was a bit more information or instruction on how to use it properly

[@phyllisboyle1162]

[@MummyBrown]

This is something I'm struggling with as well. They responded when someone else asked the same thing, I'm not sure if you saw it, but this was their response: "If you are retrieving the memory and at the same time you are distracted by naming the colors, the working memory gets overloaded. The working memory simply cannot cope. This creates a distance from the disturbing memory." I asked if the trouble keeping up with naming the colors should be overtaking my energies. I'm waiting on a response. I worry that my focusing too much on something seemingly irrelevant isn't going to help me, but maybe that's actually the goal. I'm waiting to hear back from the OP to better understand.

[@GraceClifton-d7r]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's confused and frustrated. I also ended it wondering if I did it right. I never could create a clear image in my mind, just feelings. I can't afford a therapist but might need the guidance

[@cmillerg6306]

I also got frustrated by the color-naming task, but also saw (at least in my case) that the frustration led to higher-than-reasonable anxiety. So, I think that in my case, that anxiety was pointing to an issue that I'm struggling with. However, I wonder if the task might be a tad too difficult; I had many flubs. One possible fix would be to use the playback speed control in the settings menu (click on the "gear" icon) to play it back at a slower speed. Of course, I don't know if doing so messes up the efficacy of the task; just thought I'd throw that out there.

[@user-hj8bm3uv8r]

Are we supposed to think about the traumatic event while naming the colors of the ball? I can't do both at the same time.

I just made it to 20 minutes and I'm feeling so sleepy, but my headache is getting worse and I need to take more Ibuprofen, lol. I had this headache before I started. Forgot to write I do feel better about the image I came here with.

When he kept asking what was on my mind, each time i still thought about the image, but i felt less ..... im sorry my english isnt that great, oh i got it, i felt less affected. But my thought didnt change. Just felt less affected by it. I hope this means its working. I imagine it like its putting this thought or memory further back in the brain so that i dont live with it at all times in the present.

I couldn't focus on a specific memory and i couldn't visualize an image. So whenever I was asked what would come up, it would be nothing. And the longer I went, the more tired i became. My brain felt super slow and at some point it felt like it was literally blocking something and when that happened, my eye tracking became extremely hard too. So the point that my eyes were sometimes forced shut and at one point i thought I was gonna lose consciousness. Idk exactly what i did wrong tbh. I now also just feel tired.

My current observations are you should turn the ads off on this video. Jarring!
