As someone recently introduced to EMDR, this film really informs us on the possibilities of this new therapy. In the the age of treating psychological symptoms with drugs, EMDR uses the mind to heal itself. This film needs to reach the masses to inform people of the alternatives to suffering and the sometimes limited benefits of talk therapy. The film explores the healing effects of EMDR in cases of war, post traumatic stress, sexual assault, robbery, and death of a loved one.
The film itself uniquely uses black and white animation and live action to portray poignant patient stories and doctor's input, including that of the creator of EMDR. By the end I can honestly say I learned a lot. I highly recommend this film to anyone looking change their lives.
